Vibhīṣaṇa’s Arrival and the Debate on Refuge
इत्युक्त्वापरुषंवाक्यंरावणंरावणानुजः ।आजगाममुहूर्तेनयत्ररामस्सलक्ष्मणः ।।6.17.1।।
ity uktvā paruṣaṃ vākyaṃ rāvaṇaṃ rāvaṇānujaḥ | ājagāma muhūrtena yatra rāmaḥ sa-lakṣmaṇaḥ ||
راون سے سخت باتیں کہہ کر، اس کا چھوٹا بھائی وبھیषण جلد ہی وہاں پہنچ گیا جہاں شری رام لکشمن کے ساتھ کھڑے تھے۔
Vibheeshana, having addressed Ravana in harsh language, reached Rama and Lakshmana in a short while.
Dharma is shown as choosing righteousness over destructive allegiance: Vibhīṣaṇa’s movement toward Rāma symbolizes turning to the moral center after rejecting adharma.
This verse reiterates the transition: Vibhīṣaṇa leaves Rāvaṇa after harsh admonition and reaches Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa swiftly.
Resolve (dṛḍha-niścaya) and integrity—acting in accordance with one’s ethical judgment, not merely speaking it.
