Intarachit - อินทรชิต

อินทรชิต
Intarachit is a Yaksa; Green in color, he is the offspring of The Yak King "Totsagan" (Ravana in Hindi), and Naang Montoe.

Originally named "Ranapaktra", but after he managed to defeat the Deity Indra (Phra Intr in Thai), his Father Totsagan gave him the new name of "Intarachit" ("Pichit/Wichit" means to conquer - so intara+chit = "he who conquered Indra"). Intarachit's "Chaayaa" (Concubine) is called "Suwann Ganyumaa"; He has two sons, Yamaliwan and Ganyuwek. He posesses the magickal arrows "Nakabasa" (ศรนาคบาศ) & "Prahmasastra" (ศรพรหมาสตร์ ) & "Wisanupaaman" (ศรวิษณุปาณัม) as his weapons.He can mutate into "Phra Intr" (Indra) at will. The God Brahma once bestowed the blessing on Intarachit that,if Intarachit died, then it would have to occur in the Air, and forbidden to fall down on his head. If he did, then he would become a raging fire that would burn the world up.
His head should be caught on a "Pan Waen Fa" ( a kind of ceremonial offering bowl) in order to avoid the fiery disaster foretold.
This is the reason why, in the Ramakian epic, when Phra Laks (laksman) shot his arrow to cut off the head of Intarachit, he sent the "Wanora" (monkey soldier) "Ongkot" to take a Pan waen fa and catch Intarachit's head when it fell off.


อินทรชิต เป็นยักษ์มีกายสีเขียว เป็นโอรสของทศกัณฐ์กับนางมณโฑเดิมชื่อรณพักตร์ เมื่อสามารถรบชนะพระอินทร์ได้ ทศกัณฐ์พอใจมากจึงเปลี่ยนชื่อให้ว่า "อินทรชิต อินทรชิตมีชายาชื่อสุวรรณกันยุมา มีโอรส 2 องค์ คือ ยามลิวัน และกันยุเวก มีศรนาคบาศ ศรพรหมาสตร์ และศรวิษณุปาณัมเป็นอาวุธ ทั้งยังสามารถแปลงกายเป็นพระอินทร์ได้อีกด้วย พระพรหมเคยประทานพรว่า เวลาจะตายต้องตายบนอากาศ และอย่าให้ศีรษะขาดตกถึงพื้น มิฉะนั้นจะกลายเป็นไฟบรรลัยกัลป์ล้างโลก ต้องใช้พานแว่นฟ้าของพระพรหมมารองรับ โลกจึงจะปลอดภัย ดังนั้นเมื่อพระลักษมณ์จะแผลงศรไปตัดคออินทรชิต จึงตรัสสั่งให้องคตเอาพานแว่นฟ้ามาคอยรับ

4. The lifting of the Molee Bow Ceremony

After Ruesi Chanok (ชนก) returned to Rule the city of Mithila(มิถิลา), he decided he would try to find a Husband for lady Sita (นางสีดา -Naang Sidaa).Because of the fact that Naang Sidaa was not born of a normal Human manner, as normal humans were, Lord Chanok decided that "whoever shall be the Consort of lady Sita, shall have to be able to lift the Royal Molee Bow (ธนูโมลี) first!"The Molee Bow was once the bow of "Phra Isworn" (พระอิศวร -Lord Shiva), who used it to defeat Tripuram (ตรีบุรัม).
Lords and Nobles from all around came to call for Sidaa's name in marriage, but, try as they wished, nobody was able to set the arrow in the Molee Bow. They couldn't even manage to lift the bow, let alone insert the arrow and stretch the string.

The Kings and Lords and Nobles who had failed to take Sidaa's hand, were enraged, and decided to lay siege to Mithila for a year, in the hope of conquering Lord Chanok.


Lord Chanok called for help from the devas, and defeated the enemies, who were laid to waste without exception.

Meanwhile, in the city of Ayodhya, Phra Ram (Rama), and his 3 younger brothers Phra Laks (พระลักษมณ์) (laksaman), Phra Satharut and Pra Phrot had been training with the Ruesi Wasit and Swamitra. One day, they got to hear of the competition being held by Lord Chanok to lift the Molee Bow and shoot the arrow, with Naang Sidaa as the reward.The two Ruesi hermits managed to persuade phra Ram and Phra Laks to accompany them to Mithila and enter the competition. Upon arrival, they happened to stroll past Naang Sidaa's window, precisely as she looked out. her gaze fell upon Phra Ram. Their eyes beheld each other and they fell in love immediately (remember they are actually Devas who are anyway consorted to each other in their higher incarnations).All the Lords and Nobles, Kings and merchants tried to raise the Molee Bow to no avail.As Phra ram and Phra laks turn came, Phra Ram offered his brother to take the first turn. Phra Laks had already seen that naang Sidaa and Phra ram were in love, so he pretended to be unable to lift the bow, which Phra Ram noticed, and so upon his turn, lifted the bow easily with one hand, and won the hand of Naang Sidaa in marriage!
