To him who seeks my protection even
once and requests help of me saying 'I
am yours,' I shall give protection from
all creatures. This is my vow."
राघवेणाभये दत्ते संनतो रावणानुजः ।
अब्रवीच्च तदा रामं वाक्यं तत्र विभीषणः ॥
When protection had been promised by
Raghava, Vibhishana, the younger brother
of Ravana, bowed and said to Rama
these words :
परित्यक्ता मया लङ्का मित्राणि च धनानि च ।
भवद्गतं मे राज्यं च जीवितं च सुखानि च ॥
"Lanka has been abandoned by me,
and friends and riches as well. Kingdom,
life and all happiness are dependent
on you."
इति ब्रुवाणं रामस्तु परिष्वज्य विभीषणम् ।
अब्रवीलक्ष्मणं प्रीतः समुद्राज्जलमानय ।
तेन चैनं महाप्राज्ञम् अभिषिञ्च विभीषणम् ॥
Embracing Vibhishana who spoke thus,
Rama being pleased said to Lakshmana :
" Bring water from the ocean, and with it
consecrate the highly wise Vibhishana."
