Thus did the Lord of the Raghus save Vibhisana from being consumed by the fire of Ravana's wrath, fanned to fury by his own (Vibhisana's) breath (words), and bestowed on him unbroken sovereignty. Nay, He conferred on Vibhisana with much diffidence the same fortune which Lord Siva had bestowed on Ravana after the latter had offered his ten heads to Him in a sacrifice.

Listen, O king of Lanka; you possess all the above virtues; hence you are extremely dear to Me." On hearing the words of Sri Rama all the assembled monkeys exclaimed, "Glory to the All-merciful !" Vibhisana's eagerness to hear the Lord's speech, which was all nectar to his ears, knew no satiety. He clasped His lotus feet again and again, his heart bursting with boundless joy. "Listen, my lord, Ruler of the whole creation-animate as well as inanimate, Protector of the suppliant and Knower of all hearts: I did have some lurking desire in my heart before; but the same has been washed away by the stream of devotion to the Lord's feet. Now, my gracious Lord, grant me such pure devotion (to Your feet) as that which gladdens Siva heart." "So be it", replied the Lord, staunch in fight, and immediately asked for the water of the sea. "Even though, My friend, you have no craving, My sight in this world never fails to bring its reward." So saying, Sri Rama applied on his forehead the sacred mark of sovereignty and a copious shower of flowers rained down from the heavens.

I will not abandon even the murderer of myriads of Brahmanas, if he seeks refuge in Me. The moment a creature turns its face towards Me the sins incurred by it through millions of lives are washed away. A sinner by his very nature is averse to My worship. Had Vibhisana been wicked at heart, could he ever dare to approach Me? That man alone who has a pure mind can attain to Me; I have an aversion for duplicity, wiles and censoriousness. Even if Ravana has sent him to find out our secrets, we have nothing to fear or lose, O lord of the monkeys. Laksmana, O my friend, can dispose of in a trice all the demons the world contains. And if he has sought shelter with Me out of fear, I will cherish him as My own life

No sooner had Vibhisana left with these words than the doom of them all was sealed. Disrespect to a saint, Parvati, immediately robs one of all blessings. The moment Ravana abandoned Vibhisana the wretch lost all his glory. Indulging in many expectations Vibhisana, however, gladly proceeded to the Lord of the Raghus. "On reaching there I will behold those lotus-feet with ruddy soles, so soft and so delightful to the devotees. Nay, I will behold those feet whose very touch redeemed the §Rsi's wife (Ahalya), that hallowed the Dandaka forest, that Janaka's Daughter has locked up in Her bosom, that chased the delusive deer and that dwell as a pair of lotuses in the lake of Siva heart. I am really blessed that I am going to see those very feet.

Those men who worship anyone else, giving up such a (benign) lord, are mere beasts without a tail and a pair of horns. Recognizing Vibhisana as His own man the Lord accepted him in His service; the amiability of His disposition gladdened the heart of the whole monkey host. Then the All-wise, who dwells in the heart of all, is manifest in all forms, though bereft of all and unconcerned, and who had appeared in human semblance with a specific motive and as the exterminator of the demon race, spoke words strictly observing the rules of decorum: "Listen, O lord of the monkeys and O valiant sovereign of Lanka, how are we to cross the deep ocean full of alligators, snakes and all varieties of fishes, most unfathomable and difficult to cross in everyway?" "Listen, O Lord of the Raghus," replied the king of Lanka, "Although Your arrow ifself can dry up innumerable oceans, yet propriety demands that You should approach the ocean and request the deity presiding over it (to allow You a passage).

Cherishing such fond expectations Vibhisana instantly crossed over to the other side of the ocean (where Sri Rama had encamped with His host). When the monkeys saw Vibhisana coming, they took him for some special messenger of the enemy. Detaining him outside they approached Sugriva (the lord of the monkeys) and told him all the news. Said Sugriva, "Listen, O Lord of the Raghus: Ravana's brother (Vibhisana) has come to see You." The Lord, however, asked, "What do you think of the matter, my friend?" The lord of the monkeys replied, "Listen, O Ruler of men: the wiles of these demons are beyond one's comprehension. One does not know wherefore he has come, capable as he is of taking any form he likes. Obviously the fool has come to spy out our secrets; what appeals to me, therefore, is that he should be taken prisoner and detained." "Friend, you have thought out a wise course: but My vow is to dispel all fears from the mind of those who seek refuge in Me." Hanuman rejoiced to hear these words of the Lord, who cherished paternal affection for His protege.

"That villainous crew-greed, infatuation, jealousy, arrogance and pride- haunts the mind only so long as the Lord of the Raghus does not take up His abode there, armed with a bow and arrow and with a quiver fastened at His waist. Attachment to the world is like a dark night fully advanced, which is so delightful to the owls of attraction and aversion; it abides in the heart of a creature only so long as the sun of the Lord's glory does not shine there. Having seen Your lotus feet, O Rama, I am now quite well and my grave fears have been set at rest. The threefold torments of mundane existence cease to have any effect on him who enjoys Your favour, my gracious lord. I am a demon vilest of nature and have never done any good act. Yet the Lord whose beauty even sages fail to perceive with their mind's eye has been pleased to clasp me to His bosom.

The monkeys respectfully placed Vibhisana ahead of them and proceeded to the place where the all-merciful Lord of the Raghus was. Vibhisana beheld from a distance the two brothers who ravished the eyes of all. Again as he beheld Sri Rama, the home of beauty, he stopped winking and stood stockstill with his gaze intently fixed on the Lord. He had exceptionally long arms, eyes resembling the red lotus and swarthy limbs that rid the suppliant of all fear. His lion-like shoulders and broad chest exercised great charm, while His countenance bewitched the mind of countless Cupids. The sight brought tears to his eyes and a deep thrill ran through his body. He, however, composed his mind and spoke in gentle accents: "My lord, I am Ravana's brother. Having been born in the demon race. O Protector of gods, my body has the element of Tamas (inertia and ignorance) preponderating in it and I have a natural affinity for sins even as an owl is fond of darkness

"Listen, My friend: I tell you My nature, which is known to Bhusundi, Sambhu (Lord Siva) and Girija (Parvati) too. If a man, even though he has been an enemy of the whole animate and inanimate creation, comes terror-stricken to Me, seeking My protection and discarding vanity, infatuation, hypocrisy and trickeries of various kinds, I speedily make him the very like of a saint. The ties of affection that bind a man to his mother, father, brother, son, wife, body, wealth, house, friends and relations are like so many threads which a pious soul gathers up and twists into a string wherewith he binds his soul to My feet. Nay, he looks upon all with the same eye and has no craving and his mind is free from joy, grief and fear. A saint of this description abides in My heart even as mammon resides in the heart of a covetous man. Only saints of your type are dear to Me; for the sake of none else do I body Myself forth."

When the Lord saw Vibhisana falling prostrate with these words, He immediately started up much delighted. The Lord rejoiced at heart to hear his humble speech and, taking him in His long arms, clasped him to His bosom. Meeting him with His younger brother (Laksmana) He seated him by His side and spoke words that dispelled the fear of His devotee: "Tell me, king of Lanka, if all is well with you and your family, placed as you are in vicious surroundings. You live day and night in the midst of evil-minded persons; I wonder how you are able to maintain your piety, my friend, I know all your ways: you are a past master in correct behaviour and are averse to wrong-doing. It is much better to live in hell, dear Vibhisana; but may Providence never place us in the company of the wicked." "All is well with me now that I have beheld Your feet, O Lord of the Raghus, and since You have shown Your mercy to me, recognizing me as Your servant.
