Brahmā reached Laṅkā, and named Meghanāda Indrajit. (He who gained victory over Indra). Indrajit prayed to Brahmā for the boon, which would, ward off death for ever. Brahmā told him that the boon of eternal deathlessness was out of the question he sought the following boon: that when he had performed a yajña, out of the sacrificial fire should emerge a chariot and necessary horses and that he should not be killed by any one while fighting from that chariot, and that he did not mind being killed by enemies if he got away without completing the yajña. Brahmā granted him the boon. And, as directed by Brahmā Rāvaṇa released Indra from imprisonment after one year.
