विभीषणाभिषेकः
The Consecration of Vibhishana and Counsel on Crossing the Ocean
अवध्यस्सर्वभूतानांगन्धर्वोरगरक्षसाम् ।राजपुत्रदशग्रीवोवरदानात्स्वयंभुवः ।।6.19.9।।
avadhyaḥ sarvabhūtānāṃ gandharvoragarakṣasām |
rājaputra daśagrīvo varadānāt svayaṃbhuvaḥ ||6.19.9||
اے شہزادے! خودبھُو (برہما) کے عطا کردہ ور کے سبب دس گردنوں والا راون گندھرو، ناگوں اور راکشسوں—بلکہ دیگر مخلوقات کے ہاتھوں بھی—قتل نہیں ہو سکتا۔
Then the Rakshasa (Vibheeshana) having heard that Rama of unwearied action would save him proceeded to speak out about the strength of Ravana.
Truthful disclosure even when daunting: dharma in counsel requires stating hard facts accurately, enabling righteous strategy rather than false confidence.
Vibhīṣaṇa begins detailing why Rāvaṇa is formidable—protected by a boon that limits who can kill him.
Candor and loyalty—Vibhīṣaṇa prioritizes truth and the rightful cause over fear of speaking about the enemy’s advantages.
