Vibhīṣaṇa’s Arrival and the Debate on Refuge
सुग्रीवस्यवचश्रुत्वासर्वेतेवानरोत्तमाः ।सालानुद्यम्यशैलांश्चइदंवचनमब्रुवन् ।।6.17.8।।
sugrīvasya vacaḥ śrutvā sarve te vānarottamāḥ |
sālān udyamya śailāṃś ca idaṃ vacanam abruvan ||
Nghe lời Sugrīva, tất cả những bậc anh kiệt trong loài Vānara đều nhấc lên cây sāla và những tảng đá núi, rồi đồng thanh thưa lời đáp lại.
Having heard Sugriva's words, all the Vanara leaders taking up Sala trees and boulders uttered these words.
Dharma appears as faithful service to a righteous cause: the Vānaras respond to their leader’s call with readiness to protect and support Rāma’s just mission.
After hearing Sugrīva’s command/exhortation, the Vānara chiefs prepare for action—armed with improvised weapons (trees and rocks)—and answer him.
Collective courage and disciplined loyalty: coordinated readiness to act for dharma rather than hesitation or fear.
