विभीषणागमनम्
Vibhīṣaṇa’s Arrival and the Debate on Refuge
इत्युक्त्वापरुषंवाक्यंरावणंरावणानुजः ।आजगाममुहूर्तेनयत्ररामस्सलक्ष्मणः ।।6.17.1।।
ity uktvā paruṣaṃ vākyaṃ rāvaṇaṃ rāvaṇānujaḥ |
ājagāma muhūrtena yatra rāmaḥ sa-lakṣmaṇaḥ ||
Tras decir aquellas duras palabras a Rāvaṇa, su hermano menor (Vibhīṣaṇa) acudió en un instante al lugar donde estaba Rāma junto con Lakṣmaṇa.
Vibheeshana, having addressed Ravana in harsh language, reached Rama and Lakshmana in a short while.
Satya-guided dharma may require separation from wrongdoing; righteousness is upheld by seeking the protection and counsel of the virtuous.
Vibhīṣaṇa transitions from Rāvaṇa’s presence to Rāma’s presence, signaling a turning point before the larger conflict.
Integrity: refusing to remain complicit with adharma.
