KILLING OF INDRAJIT : Indrajit was the son of the Lankan king Ravana. Fierce battle ensued, and unable to injure Lakshmana by normal means, Indrajit resorted to the use of the three Supreme Weapons (Brahmastra, Pashupatastra, and Vaishnavastra) on Lakshmana. To Indrajit's great shock and dismay, each of the three weapons refused to even touch Lakshmana, with the Vaishnavastra circumambulating Lakshmana before disappearing. Realization dawned on Indrajit that Lakshmana was no ordinary human as he and his father had perceived. Indrajit vanished briefly from the battlefield, returning to Ravana at the royal palace, and reported the developments, proposing that his father make peace with Rama and protect the demon race from further decimation.

Lessons for seniors(21) The Jains worship idols of the Jinas, Tirthankars1, who are reverend as supreme beings but as the time passed by the Jains also started worshipping many other deities, Yaksas and Yaksinis, in Jain temples.
Many wonder who are they? How did they get there? How did they get such an importance? Should they be there? The answer to the first question is, even though at times it may seem that they get more reverence by many people, they are not same as Jina, Arihant, or Tirthankars who have conquered the inner passions. Not all Yaksa are benevolent, because some can be malevolent. The humans are opportunistic and since Jinas would not reward no matter how sincerely one may worshiop them, Jains looked at yaksas and yaksanis for the immediate returns, and to self serve Jains gave them the places in their temples.
