कुम्भकर्णदर्शनम् — The Appearance of Kumbhakarna and the Account of His Might
पृथिव्यांकेतुभूतोऽसौमहानेकोऽत्रदृश्यते ।यंदृष्टवावानरास्सर्वेविद्रवन्तिततस्ततः ।।6.61.6।।
saṃpṛṣṭo rājaputreṇa rāmeṇākliṣṭakarmaṇā |
vibhīṣaṇo mahāprājñaḥ kākutstham idam abravīt ||6.61.8||
Thus questioned by the prince Rāma—untiring in action—the highly wise Vibhīṣaṇa spoke this reply to Kakutstha.
"He is seen here like a lone comet on earth. Seeing him the Vanaras are fleeing hither and thither."
Dharma is right counsel grounded in truth: Vibhīṣaṇa, aligned with satya, responds responsibly when asked, supporting righteous action.
The narration transitions from Rāma’s question to Vibhīṣaṇa’s authoritative identification of the formidable enemy.
Vibhīṣaṇa’s wisdom and truthful speech, and Rāma’s disciplined reliance on counsel.
