[Indrajidvadha(h)] ("the slaughter of Indrajit"). § 541: Indrajit tied Rāma and Lakshmaṇa in a network of those arrows of his which he had obtained as boons. Sugrīva and the monkeys Suṣeṇa, etc., surrounded them. Vibhīshaṇa came and roused them with the Prajñāstra; Sugrīva extracted the arrows and applied the medicine *viçalya*; from the mountain Çveta a Guhyaka of Kubera's brought water, by rubbing one's eyes with which all invisible creatures became visible. Rāma, Lakshmaṇa, Sugrīva, etc. (*β*), rubbed their eyes. Having informed Rāvaṇa, Indrajit returned without having completed his daily sacrifice; receiving a hint from Vibhīshaṇa, Lakshmaṇa killed Indrajit. Rāvaṇa would kill Sītā, but was dissuaded by Avindhya (III, 289).
