Vibhīṣaṇa’s Arrival and the Debate on Refuge
इत्युक्त्वापरुषंवाक्यंरावणंरावणानुजः ।आजगाममुहूर्तेनयत्ररामस्सलक्ष्मणः ।।6.17.1।।
ity uktvā paruṣaṃ vākyaṃ rāvaṇaṃ rāvaṇānujaḥ |
ājagāma muhūrtena yatra rāmaḥ salakṣmaṇaḥ ||6.17.147||
Nachdem Vibhīṣaṇa Rāvaṇa so mit harten Worten angesprochen hatte, eilte er zu dem Ort, wo Rāma und Lakṣmaṇa waren.
Vibheeshana, having addressed Ravana in harsh language, reached Rama and Lakshmana in a short while.
Dharma demands choosing the side of justice; when counsel fails, one must act and seek righteous refuge.
Vibhīṣaṇa leaves Rāvaṇa after a sharp exchange and approaches Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa.
Courage to abandon adharma-backed security for dharmic uncertainty.
