Indrajit shot Nārāyaṇāstra which attracted by the ‘seven-letter-Mantra’ (Namo Nārāyaṇāya) of Lakṣmaṇa circled him thrice and entered his quiver. The Rākṣasa minister called Mahodara converted his elephant into Airāvata and himself changed into Devendra and encountered Lakṣmaṇa. Saying that he had no quarrel with Indra and would not fight him Lakṣmaṇa put down his bow, and Indrajit, exploiting the situation shot Brahmāstra against Lakṣmaṇa under cover of the clouds. Lakṣmaṇa, Sugrīva and others fainted. Then Śrī Rāma were in the army-camp, worshipping weapons to render them more powerful. Rāma returned to the battle-ground to find Lakṣmaṇa and others in life-less condition and crying like a mere ignorant fellow he lay by the side of Lakṣmaṇa. Vibhīṣaṇa, who returned with food prayed for the grace of Devas. Indra appeared, gave to Vibhīṣaṇa Gaṅgā water in a golden vessel and asked it to be given to Hanūmān and Jāmbavān, who, though unconscious were not dead. - [Previous: c9.189](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.189) - [Next: c9.191](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.191) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.190](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.190) · Pramāṇa
