Shloka 6.15.2
विभीषण–इन्द्रजित् संवादः (Vibhishana and Indrajit: Counsel, Boast, and Rebuttal)
किंनामतेतातकनिष्ठवाक्यमनर्थकंचेवेसुबसुभीतवच्च ।अस्मिन्कुलेयोऽपिभवेन्नजातस्सोऽपीदृशंनैववदेन्नकुर्यात् ।।6.15.2।।
putra-pravāde va tu rāvaṇasya tvam indrajin mitra-mukho 'si śatruḥ | yasyedṛśaṃ rāghavato vināśaṃ niśamya mohād anumanyase tvam ||6.15.10||
Indrajit, though you proclaim yourself Rāvaṇa’s son, you are in truth his enemy—wearing the face of a friend. For after hearing of the devastation wrought by Rāghava, you still, out of delusion, approve this course.
"What a meaningless statement you made uncle, being frightened? One who is not born in our race also would not have said such unbecoming words uttered by you (nor do such unbecoming acts)?"
Dharma distinguishes true loyalty from harmful attachment: enabling a wrong course, even while claiming kinship and friendship, becomes betrayal of the person’s true welfare.
Vibhīṣaṇa admonishes Indrajit that persisting in Rāvaṇa’s path after witnessing Rāma’s power is not devotion but deluded complicity that harms Laṅkā.
Vibhīṣaṇa’s moral clarity (satya-buddhi) and courage to speak uncomfortable truth for the genuine good of his family and kingdom.
