यज्ञविघ्नः — Vibhishana’s Counsel and Lakshmana’s March to Nikumbhila
त्यजराजन्निमंशोकंमिथ्यासन्तापमागतम् ।तदियंत्यज्यतांचिन्ताशत्रुहर्षविवर्धिनी ।।6.85.8।।
tyaja rājann imaṁ śokaṁ mithyāsantāpam āgatam | tad iyaṁ tyajyatāṁ cintā śatruharṣavivardhinī || 6.85.8 ||
Ó rei, abandona este luto, este tormento inútil que surgiu. Lança fora esta preocupação, pois ela só aumenta o júbilo do inimigo.
"O great Lord! Hear me, which is yet to be submitted by me to you. You are afflicted without cause and pained at heart."
Dharma requires mastery over debilitating grief; a leader must not feed despair that weakens righteous resolve and empowers adharma.
Vibhīṣaṇa urges Rāma to relinquish anxiety, warning that such sorrow benefits the opposing side.
Steadfastness (dhairya) and strategic clarity—maintaining inner composure for the sake of justice and the community.
