Vibhīṣaṇa’s Arrival and the Debate on Refuge
इत्युक्त्वापरुषंवाक्यंरावणंरावणानुजः ।आजगाममुहूर्तेनयत्ररामस्सलक्ष्मणः ।।6.17.1।।
ity uktvā paruṣaṃ vākyaṃ rāvaṇaṃ rāvaṇānujaḥ | ājagāma muhūrtena yatra rāmaḥ salakṣmaṇaḥ ||
Ainsi, après avoir prononcé des paroles rudes à Rāvaṇa, son frère cadet, Vibhīṣaṇa, parvint en peu de temps au lieu où Rāma se tenait avec Lakṣmaṇa.
Vibheeshana, having addressed Ravana in harsh language, reached Rama and Lakshmana in a short while.
Dharma includes the duty to leave adharmic leadership when counsel fails; moving toward the righteous is portrayed as a legitimate moral choice.
Vibhīṣaṇa, after rebuking Rāvaṇa, goes swiftly to Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa.
Integrity—standing by truth and choosing the company of the virtuous.
