MEGHANADA<br />

Indrajit was born to Ravana and his wife Mandodari, the<br />

daughter of Mayasura. He was named "Meghanada" because his<br />

birth cry sounded like thunder. He defeated Indra, the king of the<br />

Devas, after which he came to be known as 'Indrajit' ("the<br />

conqueror of Indra").<br />

At a very young age, Meghanada 57 became the possessor of<br />

several supreme celestial weapons, including Brahmastra,<br />

Pashupatastra, and Vaishnavastra, under the guidance of<br />

Shukra, the guru of the daityas (demons). He was married to<br />

Sulochana, the daughter of the King of the Serpents Shesha<br />

Naga.<br />
