इत्युक्त्वापरुषंवाक्यंरावणंरावणानुजः ।आजगाममुहूर्तेनयत्ररामस्सलक्ष्मणः ।।6.17.1।।
ity uktvā paruṣaṃ vākyaṃ rāvaṇaṃ rāvaṇānujaḥ | ājagāma muhūrtena yatra rāmaḥ salakṣmaṇaḥ ||
రావణునితో ఇలా కఠిన వాక్యాలు పలికిన రావణానుజుడు (విభీషణుడు) క్షణంలోనే లక్ష్మణసహితుడైన శ్రీరాముడు ఉన్న చోటికి వెళ్లి చేరాడు।

One should align with dharma even when it requires breaking ties with adharmic authority; truthful speech and righteous direction are prioritized over family allegiance.
Vibhīṣaṇa leaves after confronting Rāvaṇa and heads toward Rāma’s side.
Integrity (satya-niṣṭhā) and discernment (viveka) in choosing the righteous refuge.
