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.
The verse reinforces that loyalty is subordinate to righteousness; satya leads one toward those who uphold moral order.
It narrates Vibhīṣaṇa’s swift arrival to Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa after his confrontation with Rāvaṇa.
Truth-alignment: choosing the side of dharma in a decisive moment.
