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 ||
இவ்வாறு ராவணனை கடுமையான வார்த்தைகளால் கண்டித்து, விபீஷணன் விரைவாக லக்ஷ்மணனுடன் நின்ற ஸ்ரீராமர் இருக்கும் இடத்துக்கு வந்தான்।
Vibheeshana, having addressed Ravana in harsh language, reached Rama and Lakshmana in a short while.
Dharma is not passive approval; it can require firm speech against injustice and then active alignment with the righteous side.
Vibhīṣaṇa completes his break with Rāvaṇa and reaches Rāma’s side.
Truth-allegiance (satya-niṣṭhā) over clan allegiance.
