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 ||
یوں راون سے وہ سخت کلام کہہ کر، راون کا چھوٹا بھائی (وبھیषण) پل بھر میں وہاں جا پہنچا جہاں شری رام لکشمن سمیت کھڑے تھے۔
Vibheeshana, having addressed Ravana in harsh language, reached Rama and Lakshmana in a short while.
Dharma is framed as seeking rightful protection (śaraṇāgati) after rejecting unethical rule; Vibhīṣaṇa’s direction of travel symbolizes moral realignment.
This is the connective narration: Vibhīṣaṇa, after rebuking Rāvaṇa, reaches Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa soon.
Discernment (viveka)—recognizing where dharma stands and choosing that side despite personal cost.
