Indrajit

Who Indrajit is

Indrajit, also called Meghanada, was the eldest son of Ravana and Mandodari and the most formidable warrior of Lanka. The Uttara Kanda relates that he earned his name by defeating Indra himself, and in the Sundara Kanda he alone was able to bind Hanuman with the weapon of Brahma. In the Yuddha Kanda he fought unseen from the clouds by his powers of illusion and twice struck down Rama and Lakshmana, until Lakshmana defeated him after his rite at Nikumbhila was interrupted.

“I have defeated the king of the gods. You will not even see where my arrows come from.”

How Indrajit plays chess
