THE DEATH OF INDRAJIT

At last, Lakshmana used the Indra-astra spell and uttering the name of Raama discharged the fatal arrow. The head of Indrajit as severed and fell to the ground and as it fell, it shone like fire. The Devas and Gandharvas showered flowers from the heavens.

Lakshmana then went to Raama. He was wounded all over and bleeding. He walked slowly, supported by Jaambavaan and Hanumaan. Raama had already heard the news of the death of Indrajit.

"Lakshmana!" he cried, "this is the end of the Raakshasa race. You have achieved it."

Lakshmana modestly stood back but Raama seated him on his lap, kissed his head and gave vent to his joy.

"You have performed a mighty deed, impossible for anyone else. You have deprived Raavana of his right hand. Who in the world can equal you or Vibheeshana or Hanumaan? I have no more care. You have vanquished the conqueror of Indra. I feel I have already recovered Seeta."
