Vibhīṣaṇa’s Arrival and the Debate on Refuge
प्रणिधीराक्षसेन्द्रस्यरावणस्यभवेदयम् ।अनुप्रविश्यसोऽस्मासुभेदंकुर्यान्नसंशयः ।।6.17.22।।
praṇidhī rākṣasendrasya rāvaṇasya bhaved ayam | anupraviśya so 'smāsu bhedaṃ kuryān na saṃśayaḥ || 6.17.22 ||
Maaaring siya’y espiya ni Rāvaṇa, hari ng mga rākṣasa; palihim na papasok sa ating kampo at maghahasik ng pagkakawatak-watak—walang alinlangan.
"This Rakshasa may be a spy who has found entry into our camp to create differences (among us). No doubt about it."
Protecting unity is dharma: leaders must prevent internal विभेद (division), since discord can destroy a righteous cause from within.
Allies suspect Vibhīṣaṇa could be an infiltrator sent by Rāvaṇa to fracture the coalition.
Protective foresight—anticipating threats to morale and cohesion.
