Dispatched by Ravana, Indrajit, Ravana's eldest son, marches against Hanuman. On his shafts being rendered ineffective by Hanuman through his extreme agility, Indrajit takes him captive by discharging the Brahmastra, the unfailing missile presided over by Brahma (the creator). Even though capable of rendering it ineffective, Hanuman yields to its influence, eager as he was to meet Ravana, to whose presence he is led by his son.
