Shloka 6.15.6
विभीषण–इन्द्रजित् संवादः (Vibhishana and Indrajit: Counsel, Boast, and Rebuttal)
ऐरावतोविस्वरमुन्नदन् सनिपातितोभूमितलेमयातु ।विकृष्यदन्तौतुमयाप्रसह्यवित्रासितादेवगणास्समग्राः ।।6.15.6।।
dhanāni ratnāni subhūṣaṇāni vāsāṃsi divyāni maṇīṃś ca citrān | sītāṃ ca rāmāya nivedya devīṃ vase ma rājan nihavīta-śokāḥ ||6.15.14||
O King, let us offer to Rāma the goddess Sītā, along with wealth, jewels, fine ornaments, divine garments, and splendid gems; then we may dwell here free from grief.
"I pushed down the elephant Airavata coming towards me making noise, pulled down its tusks forcibly and chased the entire group of gods."
Restorative dharma: wrongdoing should be corrected by returning what was taken (Sītā) and making restitution, choosing peace through truth rather than persisting in injustice.
Vibhīṣaṇa urges Rāvaṇa to end the conflict by surrendering Sītā to Rāma with gifts, thereby saving Laṅkā from destruction.
Moral courage and compassionate statesmanship—prioritizing the people’s welfare and righteousness over ego and possessiveness.
