FAQs

It cautions that praise and past victories can be used to recruit one into an unrighteous cause; dharma demands discernment beyond honor and reputation.

Rāvaṇa strengthens his appeal by affirming affection and citing Kumbhakarṇa’s legendary battlefield successes.

Kumbhakarṇa’s valor and proven capability are emphasized; ethically, the key virtue to add is विवेक (discernment) about how that valor is used.
