विभीषणोपदेशः
Vibhīṣaṇa’s Counsel to Rāvaṇa and the Rākṣasa Court
अनन्तभोगेनसहस्रमूर्थ्नानागेनभीमेनमहाबलेव ।बलात्परिक्षिप्तमिमंभवन्तोराजानमुत्क्षिप्यविमोचयन्तु ।।।।
ananta-bhोगena sahasra-mūrdhnā nāgena bhīmena mahā-balena | balāt parikṣiptam imaṁ bhavanto rājānam utkṣipya vimocayantu ||
Kini raja ini terbelit ketat oleh ular naga yang menggerunkan—berkekuatan besar, berkepala seribu, berlingkar tanpa akhir. Angkatlah baginda dan lepaskanlah daripada lilitan itu dengan kekuatan.
"This king is entwined by a fearsome and extremely strong thousand hooded snake endowed with extraordinary energy at present. Lift him up and relieve him."
Dharma includes intervention to prevent wrongdoing: when a leader is bound by destructive obsession, advisers must act decisively to restrain and reform.
Using a serpent-entanglement metaphor, the speaker urges the court to rescue the king from the grip of his ruinous fixation.
Protective responsibility—placing the kingdom’s welfare above passive obedience.
