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 ||
આ રીતે રાવણને કઠોર વચન સંભળાવી, વિભીષણ ત્વરિત ગતિએ ત્યાં આવ્યો જ્યાં લક્ષ્મણ સહિત શ્રીરામ ઊભા હતા.
Vibheeshana, having addressed Ravana in harsh language, reached Rama and Lakshmana in a short while.
Dharma is not passive approval; it can require firm speech against injustice and then active alignment with the righteous side.
Vibhīṣaṇa completes his break with Rāvaṇa and reaches Rāma’s side.
Truth-allegiance (satya-niṣṭhā) over clan allegiance.
