羅刹がその企てを成し遂げて退いた――雨を降らせた雲が去るように――そのときスグリーヴァを伴ったヴィビーシャナが、まさにその地へと到来した。
Indrajith retired after completing the task, like a cloud that retires after raining. Then came Vibheeshana and Sugriva to that location.
FAQs
Dharma here is implied through discernment and timely action: allies who stand for righteous order (Vibhīṣaṇa with Rāma’s side, and Sugrīva as ally) move promptly in response to the enemy’s completed maneuver, emphasizing vigilance in a just cause.
After Indrajit completes a specific operation/rite and withdraws, Vibhīṣaṇa arrives at the location with Sugrīva, indicating a shift to counsel, assessment, or response in the battlefield narrative.
Vibhīṣaṇa’s virtue of dharmic allegiance and clear judgment is foregrounded—he acts with the righteous side and arrives to guide and support at a critical moment.
