कुम्भकर्णोपदेशः
Kumbhakarna’s Counsel and War-Boast to Ravana
धर्ममर्थं च कामं च सर्वान्वारक्षसांपते ।भजतेपुरुषःकालेत्रीणिद्वन्द्वानिवापुनः ।।6.63.9।।
dharmam arthaṃ ca kāmaṃ ca sarvān vā rākṣasāṃ-pate |
bhajate puruṣaḥ kāle trīṇi dvandvāni vā punaḥ ||6.63.9||
اے راکشسوں کے سردار! انسان کو چاہیے کہ وقت کے مطابق دھرم، ارتھ اور کام کی پیروی کرے—یا تو تینوں کو ساتھ لے کر چلے، یا کم از کم دو دو کو توازن کے ساتھ اختیار کرے۔
"Through the destruction of Rama, I will bring happiness to you who are worthy of happiness. I will collect Rama along with Lakshmana and all the Vanara leaders and devour all."
Dharma is the regulating principle for human aims: artha and kāma are legitimate only when pursued in right measure and at the right time, not through adharma.
Counsel is given to Rāvaṇa about proper human goals and timing, implicitly criticizing his adharma-driven choices.
Balance and self-governance—ordering life aims under dharma.
