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 ||
रावणाला कठोर वचन सांगून रावणाचा धाकटा भाऊ (विभीषण) थोड्याच वेळात जिथे लक्ष्मणासह श्रीराम होते तिथे पोहोचला।
Vibheeshana, having addressed Ravana in harsh language, reached Rama and Lakshmana in a short while.
Dharma is framed as seeking rightful refuge: when truth is rejected by power, the dharmic person turns toward the just protector.
Vibhīṣaṇa, having spoken harshly to Rāvaṇa, goes quickly to where Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa are.
Conscience (antar-ātman): acting according to inner moral clarity rather than fear or attachment.
