Inthorachit or Indrajit’s face, body and two arms are green, he has wide-open eyes and a clinched mouth with kheaw dok mali or fangs that curl downwards. He either wears a chada yod dern hon (headdress for travelling) in the same style as that worn by the god Indra. He has two kinds of earpieces with one kind being similar to what humans wear. He is the son of Thotsakan and Mondo. Suwankanyuma is his consort and Yamaliwan and Kanyuwek are their sons.
Inthorachit or Indrajit’s original name was Ronapak. After he had fought a victorious battle against the god Indra, Thotsakan changed his name to Inthorachit with the Sanskrit original of his name-“Indrajit”–literally meaning the “conqueror of Indra” (the king of the gods). At the time of his birth, he received blessings from three deities, viz., Phra Isuan,, Phra Brahma and Phra Narai. In the case of Phra Isuan, he was assured that he would never die on the face of the earth, but only in the air. However, if decapitated, were his head to fall to the earth, universal destruction by cataclysmic, apocalyptic fire would ensue in accordance with the dictates of the blessing.
After Inthorachit fought many battles against Phra Rama as recounted in all extant versions of the story, in a version found only in the Thai Ramakien, Inthorachit was finally killed by Phra Rama’s arrow by being decapitated in the sky above the knoll known as the “Universal Knoll” (เนินจักรวาล Nern Jakgrawarn) in view of the projected universal destruction had his severed head hit the ground.
This apocalyptic scenario was averted when Ongkot (Angada) brought a diamond bowl from heaven provided by Thada Brahma so as to catch Inthorachit’s head in the air before it could fall to the earth, thereby averting the conflagration that would have otherwise utterly destroyed the earth.
