Vibhīṣaṇa’s Arrival and the Debate on Refuge
इत्युक्त्वापरुषंवाक्यंरावणंरावणानुजः ।आजगाममुहूर्तेनयत्ररामस्सलक्ष्मणः ।।6.17.1।।
ity uktvā paruṣaṃ vākyaṃ rāvaṇaṃ rāvaṇānujaḥ | ājagāma muhūrtena yatra rāmaḥ salakṣmaṇaḥ ||
Après avoir adressé à Rāvaṇa des paroles âpres, Vibhīṣaṇa —le cadet de Rāvaṇa— parvint bientôt au lieu où se tenait Rāma avec Lakṣmaṇa.
Vibheeshana, having addressed Ravana in harsh language, reached Rama and Lakshmana in a short while.
Dharma is choosing righteous alignment over inherited allegiance; truthful counsel may be harsh, but it is ethically necessary when confronting adharma.
Vibhīṣaṇa departs from Rāvaṇa and joins Rāma’s vicinity.
Truthfulness joined with decisive action.
