Strategy to Kill Indrajith
While Lakshmana was consoling Rama due to his immense affection for him, Vibheeshana had made the Army ready with 4 of his Ministers as guards like the Elephants come with its Leader they followed him and reached where Rama was. ( Lakshmana spoke those words earlier due to his affinity for his brother and could not stand his agony). Vibheeshana noticed Rama grieving and Vanaras shedding tears. Rama said “When we are alive how the Enemy has erased our thinking and caused an unerasable Anguish” thus ashamed, lying in Lakshmana’s Lap and was full of agony “What is this surprise?” Saw Vibheeshana’s face, Sugreeva, and other Vanaras Lakshamana narrated the happenings shedding tears. ‘Since he heard from Hanuman that Sita has been killed by Indrajith Rama is like this’.
Vibheeshana stopped him “I understood all this by guessing. What Hanuman told about Sita can never happen. When oceans get dried & parched, only then this will happen. I Know how this Wicked Ravana is lured by Sita I know. He will never kill Sita. Despite my requesting him many time to release Sita he rejected me. He could not near Sita with Sama Dhana Bedha ie Counselling, negotiate, entice with wealth, stern warning, differential treatment according to nature of Crime respectiely. Can he with Dhanda - Severest punishment are meted out and Maya get Sita killed? He had swayed Vanaras and has gone to Nikumbhilai to fulfill his Yaga. If he fulfills the Yaga then Even Deva Dhanava and even Indra can’t win over him. He used his Maya and swayed them all. So Shun this meaningless Worry, so before he completes his Yaga, let us go with Army there, Seeing you in anguish like this the entire Vanaras Army is in grief. You be here without any worry. Send Lakshmana with Vanaras Army. He with his sharp Bhanas will make Indrajith to leave that Yaga midway. Then it is easier to kill him. The Arrows with Eagle Feathers will drink Indrajith’s Blood. Except Indrajith there are no one else who can come for war in Lanka. When he is concentrating in Yaga Vanaras should disturb him and then he will be destroyed as per Brahma’s boons. Like Indra sends his Vahrayudha please send your Lakshmana to destroy Rakshasaas. Now we should not delay even a little bit in wiping Enemy at this crucial juncture. Please give permission to Lakshmana to kill Indrajith like Indra commands to kill Asura Chief. If the Indrajith’s yagnya happens without obstacle he won’t be visible even to Deva Asuras as well. And if they also join then there is no use by then. (Slokas 51)
