इन्द्रजित्-वधः
The Slaying of Indrajit
स हताश्वोमहातेजाभूमौतिष्ठन्निशाचरः ।इन्द्रजित्परमक्रुद्धस्सजज्वालतेजसा ।।।।
sa hatāśvo mahātejā bhūmau tiṣṭhan niśācaraḥ | indrajit paramakruddhaḥ sa jajvāla tejasā ||6.91.1||
因陀罗阇特,这位夜行的勇士,战马已亡,立于地上;他怒极而燃,周身放射炽盛光辉。
The nightranger, effulgent Indrajith standing on the ground very angry, with horses lost, was flaming with energy.
The verse implicitly contrasts dharma with uncontrolled wrath: anger can intensify power (tejas) but also signals inner imbalance that dharmic heroes must withstand without losing restraint.
After losing his chariot’s horses, Indrajit remains on the battlefield on foot, enraged and radiating fierce energy.
Not a virtue but a driving force: Indrajit’s fierce determination fueled by anger, which heightens the conflict.
