From the Hindu epic Ramayana, Indrajit (Devanagari: इंद्रजीत, indrajīt) also called Meghanaada (मेघनाद, méghanāda) was the son of Raavana, King of Lanka (now Sri Lanka), and Mandodari, daughter of Mayasura. He was married to Sulochana (Prameela), hailing from the nagas.

Indrajit was named Meghnad at birth because when he cried for the first time, thunder and lightning struck, signifying the birth of a great warrior. The name 'Indrajit' ('Indra' is the mythical king of gods. 'Jit' means conqurer) was granted to him by Lord Brahma when he conquered Indra, the King of devas, and made him a prisoner.

During the great war between Rama and Ravana, Indrajit was sent to war due to his extraordinary skills. All the warriors on Ravana's side were conditioanally unbeatables. Ravana had his death-arrow hidden inside a pillar. Indrajit was unbeatable in war,

A Brahmastra is a weapon that granted to Indrajit upon gaining victory on the King of Gods, Indra. It is said that this weapons has tremendous power and when it leaves the bow, it can beat any arrow and kill any person at wish.
