Vibhīṣaṇa’s Arrival and the Debate on Refuge
इत्युक्त्वापरुषंवाक्यंरावणंरावणानुजः ।आजगाममुहूर्तेनयत्ररामस्सलक्ष्मणः ।।6.17.1।।
ity uktvā paruṣaṃ vākyaṃ rāvaṇaṃ rāvaṇānujaḥ |
ājagāma muhūrtena yatra rāmaḥ salakṣmaṇaḥ ||6.17.144||
ராவணனிடம் இவ்வாறு கடுமையான சொற்கள் கூறிய விபீஷணன், விரைவாக இலக்குமணனுடன் இருந்த ஸ்ரீராமர் இருக்கும் இடத்திற்குச் சென்றான்.
Vibheeshana, having addressed Ravana in harsh language, reached Rama and Lakshmana in a short while.
Dharma prioritizes alignment with righteousness over attachment to power; seeking the company of the virtuous is itself a dharmic act.
Vibhīṣaṇa leaves after confronting Rāvaṇa and goes to meet Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa.
Integrity—acting consistently with one’s moral convictions.
