वाल्मीकि रामायण के राम क्र० १०० विभीषण के मार्गदर्शन में लक्ष्मण द्वारा इन्द्रजित मेघनाद का वध
Description
इन्द्र को था उसने हराया। कोई ना उसे हरा पाया।।
वाके चाचा राह दिखायो। तो लक्ष्मण सर काट गिरायो।।
Episode 100 of the conversations between Yogita Pant and Anil Chawla describes the battle that led to killing of Meghnaad (also known as Indrajit). Vibheeshan took Lakshman, Hanuman, Jambwaan and others of Vaanar Sena to the temple of Nikumbhila Devi where Indrajit was doing a ceremony with his army standing in guard. Ferocious fighting started between the two armies with Hanuman leading the charge from Vaanar Sena. When Indrajit learnt that his side was under pressure, he quit the ceremony and came in a chariot to the scene of the battle. On reaching the battle field, he saw his uncle Vibheeshan. Indrajit immediately knew that Lakshman and the accompanying army had been brought to that secluded unknown place by Vibheeshan. This infuriated Indrajit who abused his uncle and condemned the merciless attempt of Vibheeshan to try to get his own son (nephew is considered as a son) killed. Vibheeshan answered Indrajit’s accusations taking recourse to the principles of dharm. The fighting that followed saw both Lakshman and Indrajit wounded and covered in blood. Finally, Lakshman was able to use the special weapon from Indr (the king of devatas) to chop off Indrajit’s head and kill him. (Ref. Chapters 86-90, Yuddh Kand, Shreemad Valmikiy Ramayan)
