paryavasthāpaya ātmānam anāthaṃ māṃ ca vānara |
satya-dharmābhiraktānāṃ nāsti mṛtyu-kṛtaṃ bhayam ||6.46.33||
「心を鎮めよ、ヴァーナラよ。今この時、頼るものなき私をも支えてくれ。真実(サティヤ)とダルマに帰依する者には、死から生じる恐れは勝ち得ない。」
"O Vanara! We are helpless, be confident, for those following righteousness and truthfulness there is no fear of death."
Devotion to satya and dharma conquers existential fear; righteousness demands inner steadiness even when death seems near.
Sugrīva is shaken after seeing the wounded Rāghavas; Vibhīṣaṇa intervenes with dharmic counsel to restore composure.
Fearlessness grounded in righteousness: Vibhīṣaṇa models calm, principled leadership and moral encouragement.
