उवाचमहाप्राज्ञस्स्वरेणमहतामहान् ।सुग्रीवंतांश्चसम्प्रेक्ष्यसर्वान्वानरयूथपान् ।।6.17.11।।
uvāca mahāprājñaḥ svareṇa mahatā mahān |
sugrīvaṃ tāṃś ca samprekṣya sarvān vānarayūthapān ||
Nagsalita ang dakila at lubhang marunong na si Vibhīṣaṇa, sa malakas at maringal na tinig; at pagtanaw kay Sugrīva at sa lahat ng mga pinunò ng hukbong Vānara, kanyang hinarap sila.
Great and very wise Vibheeshana, gazing at Sugriva and the Vanaras, addressed them in a loud tone.
Dharma here is responsible counsel and truthful communication: wisdom is not private; it is offered openly to guide collective action toward righteous ends.
After arriving among Rāma’s allies, Vibhīṣaṇa turns to Sugrīva and the Vānara commanders to speak publicly, preparing them for coordinated decisions in the war context.
Prājñatā (discernment) and leadership through clear speech—Vibhīṣaṇa’s capacity to guide others with steadiness and clarity.
