Indrajith Killed

            Once the Horses were killed, Indrajith was enraged standing on the ground with his Body palpitating, shining with Anger. Lakshmana and Indrajith both Archers Like the Elephants and Oxen Battle it out wanting to win over the other fought fiercely. Those belonging to them went where ever they went were witnessing it with more eagerness. Then Indraajith motivated his Entourages and said “Friends! All the directions are covered and Dark and one can’t identify who is Friend or Foe.I will hypnotise Vanaras and You fight as they will not know I am not here . They should at any cost know my having gone to Lanka. Be careful. Saying this he went to the City and returned in another Golden Chariot. All the weapons needed for the war were kept ready there. Best Breed Steeds were tied on them.Then the Charioteer who was knower of horses in training, Heart of the horses, well wisher of Indrajith Charioteered same. Aswath Sashtra Ability know the pulse of horses and able to communicate with them and knowing their nature make them do work as is required.

            Seeing Indrajith coming on another Chariot, Vanaras and Vibheeshana were surprised. They appreciated his intelligence and sagacious deftness. Indrajith virtually burning the Leaders of Vanaras with rage, killed them with 100/1000 Bhanas. He bent his bow like a round bar and used the bow and shot many Bhanas stopped Vanaras and sent them to Yama Lok (Place where Dead go).

            The Vanara warriors were afraid they went to Lakshmana seeking his Charanam. In War frenzy he broke Indrajith’s Bow and showed his alacrity and capability. Immediately Indrajith took another bow and strung it. That also Lakshmana sheared it with 3 Bhanas. He piereced Indrajith with 5 Bhanas. They went through his body and fell in the ground like big snakes. Indrajith’s Vest was broken. He blurted out blood from his Mouth, wore another Vest. Took another Bow duly strung with sturdy strings, Like Indra organises the Rain to pour like cats & Dogs with beautiful deftness showered Bhanas on Lakshmana. He did not get perturbed but stopped it thus showing his prowess to that Rakshasaa. All were awestruck to see this. Then Chanting invoking Manthras (Verses) to travel very fast, he pierced each of the Rakshasaas with 3 Bhanasas well as Indrajith was slit too. Thus being harassed by the Strong Lakshmana, he too responded very quickly with many Bhanas. Lakshmana cut them before they could reach him. He cut of the head of Charioteer with a Palla (Bhana) and made it fall on Indrajith’s feet. Since the Steeds were well trained, despite Chairoteer’s death, they with great capability conducted the Chariot themselves showed various types of Movements and formations to suit the war situations as though they were being remotely controlled. This infuriated Lakshmana he hit them with many Bhanas and made them tremble. Indrajith was infuriated and hit Laskhmana with 10 Bhanas.They after hitting his Vajhrayudha (Indestructible metal Alloy) fell on the ground. Indrajith thought ‘It is not possible to break open his Vest’ he pierced Lakshmana’s forehead with 3 Bhanas showed his mastery. Lakshmama who was eager in war looked like Tall Mountain, chose 5 sharp Bhanas and hit on the worried face of Indrajith. They both were warriors of exceptional abilities; they had Bows of excellent strength; they had Valiant Prowess which made one tremble; each one hit the other with sharpest of Bhanas unabatedly; Blood smeared in all parts of their bodies, they looked like the Phalas Tree which had blossomed with flowers. Each one wanting to win over the other, pierced the other with Arrows. Then Indrajith frustrated with anger hit Vibheeshana with 3 Bhanas and also slit the Vanara Leaders with Bhanas. Seeing this Vibheeshana with his mace killed the Horses. Soon Ravana’s son jumped on the ground took the Sword and swirled it at his Father’s brother. Lakshmana cut of that sword into 10 pieces in mid air. Vibheeshana hit Ravana‘s son with 5 Vajahra like Bhanas on the Chest. They went through his Body and came out Like Red Serpents.

Immediately that Rakshasaa wanted kill Vibheeshana, took out the Choicest Asthra given by Mayan. Lakshmana saw him mouning it,tookout a Bhana blessed by Kubhera in Dream which can’t be won by any one including Indra, Celestials & Demons, both pulled the strings of their bows upto their ears to give momentum to Bhanas with their Arms which were strong like Parihaudhas and the strings were reverberating seem to be like the Krouncha birds were cooing. Both the Bhanas were dazzling. They both left sky wards and faced and attacked each other and fell to the ground. This caused Fire and with smoke and effulgence like a tow Astroids exploded against one another and fell into the ground with burning embers. Both of them got enraged as well as ashamed. Lakshmana in fury used Varunastra: The water weapon, created by Varuna, master of the oceans which was promptly retaliated by Indrajith using RudraAsthra the weapon which emantes Fire to evaporate water. Then Indrajith launched the weapon Agneyastra: The fire weapon, created by Agni, master of the flames which can burn all the worlds. Lakshmana quelled it with SuryaAsthra. Then Ravana’s son with an intention to kill Enemy use the Asura Asthra from there emanated Dazzling Tridents, Maces, Swords, sickles, Iron Long war Hammers called Ulakaais.Tharbhana which can destroy all enemies was decimated by Lakshmana with Maheshwara Asthra. Then between the two really classical Ominous Fiercest of War raged. Those who live in outer space were all surrounding Lakshmana. Both Vanaras and Rakshasaas fought a pitched battle. Devas(Celestials), Uragas (Fortune tellers), Gandahravas (Musicians). Pithrus (Fore fathers), Garudas (Eagles), Sages, those tormented by Rakshasaas hither to etc were witnessing in the Sky Lane and were Blessing Lakshmana that he will win and were motivating him thus protecting him tacitly.

            Then Lakshmana mounted a different Bhana on the Bow. That was Indra Asthra. Like Agni (Fire Flame) will burn every Metal with intensity. It was adorned with beautiful Eagle’s feathers with all the requisite parameters of a Weapon System; it was duly crafted with Golden decorations; it had the capacity to destroy Enemy Body / target who ever it may be; which had no counter anti ballistic missiles prevalent then; none can bear it as well; the one which can shake Rakshansaas Conscience, Intellect, Memory & Ego altogether so venomous like the Kala Sarpum (Serpent or Lasoie Rope of death which ties it's Noose around Living beings at the time of their Death, when their Life span is over); also worshipped by the Celestials. In earlier times Indra won over the Dhanavas during Deva AsuraYudahm (Epic War between Celestials and Demons). The Ashtra hitherto unbeaten was mounted on the Bow by the Greatest amongst Humans pulled the strings upto his Ears with anger dazzling like that of Kaala (Time) which burns all the worlds Living beings said those words which will fulfill his intension with out any obstructions “if Rama being born as Dasaratah’s son is Sathyam (truth), Rama is the embodiment of Dharma is True, Rama never falters on Sathyam (Truth) is True, Rama is matchless in Manliness is True , they hey Indrasthra You will and bound to destroy this Ravana’s son who is standing infront of me” said Lakshmana. He invoked the Manthra (Coding of the missile) of that Indra Asthra took the Bhana mounted it on his Bow and when Launched with the intention of killing Indrajith, it sheared Indrajith’s Head with Crown, head gear, Ear rings etc and threw it on the ground. That huge Indrajith’s Head fallen on the ground shone as though made of Gold “Thus that Ravana’s son was killed duly armed with vest broken, Bow broken and thus Lost his Life. **( It I said Indrajith could be killed by a person who ahs been observing celibacy and strict austere measures of penacnce for 13 years whch Lakshamana was observing since he left Ayodhya 13 years back leaving his wife Urmila with his mother in Ayodhya)

            Earlier when Vridhasura was killed by Deva Indra the deva entourages were ecstatic all Vanaras and Vibheeshana were in a state of Bliss and ranted War cry. In the outer space Devas, Sages, Gandharvas, Apsarasall celeberated Lakshmana. Once Indrajith was killed they decimated his Army and chased them to every corner. They ran in fear casting aside their Weapons ran towards Lanka. Some hid themselves n Lanka; some fell in the sea; Some climbed on to the mountains. Seeing the Great Warrior lying in the battle field not a single rakshasaa was seen around though they were in many thousands while he was alive. As the Sun rays go way once Sun sets, once the Rakshasass Prince was slayed his accomplices ran to corners to hide themselves. Like the Sun who has set, Fire which is quenched, his Limbs were in disarray Indrajith having lost his Lusture was lying in the ground. Once the Ravana’s son was killed all the 3 worlds were relieved of the ILL that was inflicting them so far were now without an Enemy. Sun who was afraid of him earlier now shone more brightly. Indra and Deva entourages seeing this were very Happy; Devas played Dhundhubi Drums; Apsaras (Angels) danced; Gandahrvas melodiously Sang; Celestials showered Flowers on Lakshmana and celebrated in many ways. Indrajith who had earlier made all the worlds Kadhara (Pleading, Yelling, Bellowing, screaming loudly, Exasperation) then People, water, Directions were clear in their normal manner. Devas and Dhanvas were happy. In unison Devas, gandharva, Dhanava said “Now on Brahmins without fear, and trouble can move freely”. Seeing that Rakshasaa who was of immense Strength and matchless was killed, Vibheeshana, Hanuman, Jhambhavaan, and other Vanara Warriors said “Jaya Vijayee bhava!” praised Lakshmana. Vanaras surrounded him and growled; roared like Lions; patted their shoulders; swirled their Tails and hit it on the ground; spoke of Lakashmana’s past acheivements. Each hugged the other and proclaimed “ May Lakshmana be ever Victorious”. The Valorous Achievement which was impossible for any one else, Lakshmana’s closest allies Devas were in a state of Bliss. (When they were informed of Indrajith being killed by Lakshmana, they could not believe so they came to the Battle field to see it for themselves and were too stunned to even react at this impossible event).
