اے رام، بے مثال شجاعت والے! تم پر خیر ہو۔ یہ پُشپک نامی دیوی وِمان، جو سورج کی مانند تاباں ہے، میرے بھائی کُبیر کا تھا؛ اسے طاقتور راون نے جنگ میں فتح پا کر چھین لیا۔ یہ اعلیٰ و مقدس، خواہش کے مطابق چلنے والا وِمان تمہارے ہی لیے یہاں سنبھال کر رکھا گیا ہے۔
" An aerial car called Pushpaka, a wonderful one, which closely resembles the sun, which goes according to the will of the rider has been retained with me. It was earned by Ravana from my brother Kubera in a combat. Be auspicious. O Rama, of unequal prowess, this is retained for your cause."
FAQs
Dharma includes restoring what was wrongfully taken and placing resources in the service of righteous ends; Vibhīṣaṇa presents the Puṣpaka for Rāma’s rightful, dharmic use.
Vibhīṣaṇa informs Rāma about the Puṣpaka Vimāna—its origin with Kubera, its seizure by Rāvaṇa, and its availability now for Rāma’s journey and purpose.
Vibhīṣaṇa’s integrity and service—he offers a valuable royal asset transparently and for Rāma’s mission, not for personal gain.
