विभीषणाभिषेकः
The Consecration of Vibhishana and Counsel on Crossing the Ocean
एवमुक्तस्तुधर्मज्ञःप्रत्युवाचविभीषणः ।समुद्रंराघवोराजाशरणंगन्तुमर्हति ।।6.19.30।।
evam uktaḥ tu dharmajñaḥ pratyuvāca vibhīṣaṇaḥ | samudraṃ rāghavo rājā śaraṇaṃ gantum arhati ||6.19.30||
یوں کہے جانے پر دھرم کے جاننے والے وبھیषण نے جواب دیا: “راجا راغھو (رام) کو چاہیے کہ سمندر کے پاس جا کر اسی کی شरण (پناہ/فریاد) اختیار کریں۔”
(Hanuman) having asked so, righteous Vibheeshana said, "O king Raghava! We ought to go and seek refuge from the god of the ocean."
Dharma favors seeking rightful permission and harmonizing with natural/cosmic powers rather than forcing outcomes through mere might.
Asked how to cross the sea, Vibhīṣaṇa advises that Rāma should approach the Ocean respectfully and seek its cooperation.
Vibhīṣaṇa’s dharma-jñāna (ethical discernment) and counsel grounded in restraint and legitimacy.
