कुम्भकर्णोपदेशः — Kumbhakarna’s Counsel and War-Boast to Ravana
दृष्टोदोषोहियोऽस्माभिःपुरामन्त्रन्वििर्णये ।हितेष्वनभियुक्तेनसोऽयमासादितस्त्वया ।।6.63.2।।
capalasyeha kṛtyāni sahasānupradhāvataḥ | chidram anye prapadyante krauñcasya kham iva dvijāḥ ||6.63.19||
When a ruler is fickle and rushes headlong into deeds, others seize upon his gaps and vulnerabilities—just as birds find openings in the sky around Mount Krauñca.
"While we were discussing earlier and taking decisions, that disaster foreseen by me has reaped for having not trusted the well wishers."
Self-mastery and steadiness are duties of leadership; rashness creates openings for adharma (harmful forces) to exploit.
Kumbhakarṇa cautions Rāvaṇa that impulsive governance invites enemies to exploit weaknesses.
Dhairya (steadfastness) and thoughtful action rather than impulsive force.
