About the name Indrajit
Meghanada earned the name Indrajit by beating the king of the gods himself, which makes it one of the few Sanskrit names built entirely out of a single victory. Bengali literature rehabilitated him as a tragic hero, and the name has carried a shade of doomed brilliance ever since.
