Sarga 95: Lamentation in Laṅkā and the Causal Chain of Enmity
धर्मार्थसहितंवाक्यंसर्वेषांरक्षसांहितम् ।युक्तंविभीषणेनोक्तंमोहत्तस्य न रोचते ।।।।
dharmārthasahitaṁ vākyaṁ sarveṣāṁ rakṣasāṁ hitam |
yuktaṁ vibhīṣaṇenoktaṁ mohāt tasya na rocate ||6.95.19||
Bien que Vibhīṣaṇa eût prononcé des paroles fondées sur le dharma et la juste politique, salutaires à tous les rākṣasas, Rāvaṇa, égaré par l’illusion, n’y prit nul plaisir et ne les reçut point.
"Good advice given by Vibheeshana in accordance with righteousness was not liked by him in delusion."
Right counsel aligned with dharma and truth should be heeded; delusion (moha) makes even beneficial advice seem displeasing.
In Rāvaṇa’s court, Vibhīṣaṇa offers reasonable, dharmic advice for the welfare of Laṅkā, but Rāvaṇa rejects it due to pride and delusion.
Vibhīṣaṇa’s integrity and courage to speak truth for the common good, even when unwelcome.
