Vibhīṣaṇa’s Arrival and the Debate on Refuge
इत्युक्त्वापरुषंवाक्यंरावणंरावणानुजः ।आजगाममुहूर्तेनयत्ररामस्सलक्ष्मणः ।।6.17.1।।
ity uktvā paruṣaṃ vākyaṃ rāvaṇaṃ rāvaṇānujaḥ | ājagāma muhūrtena yatra rāmaḥ salakṣmaṇaḥ ||
Nachdem er Rāvaṇa harte Worte gesagt hatte, gelangte Vibhīṣaṇa — Rāvaṇas jüngerer Bruder — bald dorthin, wo Rāma mit Lakṣmaṇa stand.
Vibheeshana, having addressed Ravana in harsh language, reached Rama and Lakshmana in a short while.
Dharma is choosing righteous alignment over inherited allegiance; truthful counsel may be harsh, but it is ethically necessary when confronting adharma.
Vibhīṣaṇa departs from Rāvaṇa and joins Rāma’s vicinity.
Truthfulness joined with decisive action.
