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 ||
Setelah mengucapkan kata-kata yang keras itu kepada Rāvaṇa, adinda Rāvaṇa, Vibhīṣaṇa, segera dalam seketika pergi ke tempat Śrī Rāma berdiri bersama Lakṣmaṇa.
Vibheeshana, having addressed Ravana in harsh language, reached Rama and Lakshmana in a short while.
Satya-guided dharma may require separation from wrongdoing; righteousness is upheld by seeking the protection and counsel of the virtuous.
Vibhīṣaṇa transitions from Rāvaṇa’s presence to Rāma’s presence, signaling a turning point before the larger conflict.
Integrity: refusing to remain complicit with adharma.
