The Boy Prince Who Captured the King of Heaven
In the Bengali retelling of the Ramayana by Krittibas Ojha, there is a striking account of young Prince Raghu. When Indra steals King Dilip's sacrificial horse out of fear for his throne, nine-year-old Raghu does not hesitate. He drives his chariot to Amravati, defeats Indra, and brings him back to Ayodhya in ropes.
It is a tale that highlights how true authority comes from righteous action rather than titles or power.
