Malyavan’s Counsel, Portents in Laṅkā, and the Proposal of Alliance
मार्जाराद्वीपिभिस्सार्थंसूकराश्शुनकैस्सह ।किन्नराराक्षसैश्चापिसमीयुर्मानुषैस्सह ।।।।
mārjarā dvīpibhiḥ sārthaṃ sūkarāḥ śunakaiḥ saha | kinnarā rākṣasaiś cāpi samīyur mānuṣaiḥ saha ||
بلیاں چیتوں کے ساتھ میل جول کرتی ہیں، سور کُتّوں کے ساتھ؛ بلکہ کِنَّر بھی راکشسوں اور انسانوں کے ساتھ گھل مل جاتے ہیں—یہ جنسوں کی گڈمڈ اور دھرم کے بکھرنے کی بدشگونی ہے۔
"Cats are having the company of (mating) Leopards, pigs are mating with dogs, Kinneras with Rakshasas as well as human beings also."
The verse uses ‘confusion of categories’ to symbolize moral confusion: when boundaries of right conduct are violated, society and nature mirror that disorder.
Further omens are listed to persuade Rāvaṇa that his path is leading Laṅkā toward destruction.
Accountability: recognizing that adharma at the top spreads chaos everywhere.
