Mounting a divine four-tusked elephant—mountain-like and roaring like thunder-clouds—Vibhīṣaṇa, accompanied by four ministers, rose into the sky.

Right leadership is linked with right counsel: the presence of ministers suggests governance guided by deliberation rather than tyranny.

Trijaṭā’s dream portrays Vibhīṣaṇa rising with attendants—an omen that he will move away from Rāvaṇa’s adharmic path.

Prudence and alignment with righteous governance—Vibhīṣaṇa is shown with advisors, not as an isolated despot.
