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||
రావణునితో ఇట్లు కఠిన వాక్యములు పలికి విభీషణుడు త్వరగా లక్ష్మణసహితుడైన శ్రీరాముడు ఉన్న చోటికి వెళ్లెను।
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.
