Ravana was exasperated after
listening to the speech of virtuous Hanuman and ordered to kill him. Vibhishana was not agreeable to the words of Ravana,
he expressed his indifference in killing Hanuman who is entrusted with the task
of a messenger. Vibhishana, who is
excellent in communication and destroyer of enemies, began to speak beneficial
and appropriate words to his brother Ravana who is in a state of frenzy “Oh!
Rakshasendhra, forgive me and get rid of your anger, be gracious and listen to
my words. Oh! Vasudhadhipendhra, you are
well aware of righteousness, it is unjustifiable to kill a messenger. Oh! Vira, you are well versed with the
Rajadharmam, killing a Vanara is against royal virtues and universal custom, when
the intellectuals seized by anger even the knowledge about scriptures becomes
vain. Oh! Rakshasendhra/Shathrugna/
destroyer of enemies, Oh!Dhurasada/unapproachable, be graceful,
an appropriate punishment will be declared after taking into
consideration of the matters.” Ravana
was fuming with anger after listening to the mellifluous words of Vibhishana,
and replied “ Oh! Vibhishana, Oh! Shathrusudhana/destroyer of enemies, there is
no offense in killing a sinner; I shall kill this Vanara who had committed
severe sin.” Vibhishana who is endowed
with righteousness, after listening to Ravana’s dissipated words followed by
anger, began to speak “ Oh! Lankeshwara, Oh! Rakshasendhra, be gracious, listen
to my most significant words of righteousness, messengers are not allowed to
kill in any place or time. There is no
doubt that the Vanara who is our enemy and arrogant, he caused extreme
displeasure to us, but Sages did speak about killing an envoy, there are
several punishments available to implement upon him, such as deformation of limbs, whipping, and shaving
head and imprint mark on body, we have not heard of killing a messenger. How can an individual like you enriched with
intellect, righteous merit, aware of precise judgment and cause and effect of
the same, persuade by rage? Wise people will have good control over their
anger. Oh! Vira, No one is equal to your
knowledge about righteousness, custom, scriptures, and you are matchless
compared to celestials and demons. Oh!
Nischacharendhra, you are valiant and unbeatable, you have conquered multitudes
of celestials, demons and Kings in the battle several times. I do not see any advantage in killing this
Vanara, let the punishment carried out by the individual assigned him. He is designated by our opponent, a messenger
who acts and talk on behalf of somebody does not deserve to be killed. Oh! Rajana, I do not find anyone other than
this Vanara who can cross the mighty ocean.
Oh! Parampuramjaya/conqueror of enemies, instead of killing this Vanara,
you should appreciate the efforts of celestials. Oh! Yuddhapriya/fond of wars, if you have
killed this Vanara, you will not get any information about the valiant princes
who are prepared to battle against us.
Oh! Manonmadhana/cheerful at heart, you are unconquerable by celestials
and demons, it is improper to put off the call for a battle. There are multitudes of warriors who has
possessed immense might, discipline, religious fervor, devoted, born in
superior class, excellent in the usage of armaments’ to work for the welfare of
you. Therefore, utilize a part of your
warriors to vanquish the two princes and let the adversaries know your
prowess. The mighty King Ravana, King of
demons, Lord of demons who is the opponent to the world of celestials, carefully
understood the remarkable advices of Vibhishana, younger brother of him.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
