Means "conqueror of Indra" from the name of the god Indra combined with Sanskrit जिति (jiti) meaning "victory, conquering". In Hindu legend this is another name of Meghanada, the son of Ravana, the king of Sri Lanka. He was given this name by Brahma after he defeated Indra.
Indrajit or Meghanada, according to Hindu texts, was a prince of Lanka and possessor of Indra Loka (Heaven). He is regarded as one of the greatest warriors in Hindu texts. He was mentioned in the Indian epic Ramayana. Indrajit played an active role in the great war between Rama and Ravana. He acquired many kinds of celestial weapons from his Guru Shukra. He defeated the Devas in heaven. Using Brahmastra, Indrajit killed 670 million Vanaras in a single day; nearly exterminating the entire half vanara race. No warrior on the Earth had ever achieved this statistical feat before in the Ramayana.
