Agnipurana 241.73

Agni said: / Rama, having slain Rāvaṇa, reached Ayodhyā, O twice-born; / formerly Lakṣmaṇa slew Indrajit by the statecraft spoken by Rāma.

of the irresistible array (asahyavyūha) […]; of the moat-array (khātaka) […]; of the circle-array (valaya) […];

of the invincible array (durjaya) […]; of the serpent-array (bhoga) […]; of the cow's-urine array (gomūtrikā) […];
