THE DEATH OF INDRAJIT

INDRAJIT comforted his father. "Why should you worry when I am here alive?" he said and gathered an army, and with it made another sortie.

He swooped down on the Vaanara forces and killed and wounded thousands of them. They were helpless against his fury. The Brahmaastra of Indrajit was effective against even Raama and Lakshmana who were tied up by it. They lay unconscious on the ground and the Raakshasa prince went straight to his anxious father with the glad news of this achievement.

Vibheeshana rallied the Vaanara leaders who had scattered in all directions and put hope and courage into them.

Jaambavaan, who was more dead than alive, moved slowly among the Vaanaras, inquiring, "is Hanumaan alive?"

"Yes, I am here," said Hanumaan, and bowed low before Jaambavaan.
