Shloka 6.61.4
कुम्भकर्णदर्शनम् — The Appearance of Kumbhakarna and the Account of His Might
विद्रुतांवाहिनींदृष्टवावर्धमानं च राक्षसम् ।सविस्मयमिदंरामोविभीषणमुवाच ह ।।6.61.4।।
ko'sau parvatasaṅkāśaḥ kirīṭī harilocanaḥ |
laṅkāyāṃ dṛśyate vīraḥ sa vidyud iva toyadaḥ ||6.61.5||
“Who is that hero, mountain-like in form—crowned, tawny-eyed—seen there in Laṅkā, like a rain-cloud lit by lightning?”
Seeing the army scared away and the army of Rakshasas growing in size, Rama was astonished and thus spoke to Vibheeshana.
Dharma is shown as truth-seeking through proper questioning: before judging or acting, one should understand the reality of what is seen.
Rāma notices an extraordinary crowned warrior in Laṅkā and asks Vibhīṣaṇa to identify him.
Rāma’s alertness and respect for accurate knowledge—he seeks identification rather than relying on assumptions.
