Educational Q&A
The verse underscores that dharma is shown through humble, disciplined devotion and rightful allegiance: even a powerful rākṣasa leader like Vibhīṣaṇa is praised for being dharmiṣṭha and for worshipfully serving the divine lord Kubera.
Nārada describes Vibhīṣaṇa’s conduct and religious orientation: in the regions of Mahendra and Gandhamādana, Vibhīṣaṇa—along with Yakṣas, Gandharvas, and other night-roaming beings—worships Kubera, his brother and sovereign.
