Yuddha Kaanda Sarga 17
Yuddha Kaanda - Sarga 17
In this Sarga, Vibheeshaṇa comes to Rāma seeking refuge in him. Seeing him appear in the sky with weapons and four followers, Sugreeva and others suspect that he has come to attack them, and become ready to fight with him.
Vibheeshaṇa approaches them and introduces himself. He says that he is upset with the conduct of his brother and empathizes with the fate of the miserable Seetā, and that he failed in convincing his brother to give Seetā back to Rāma, and that his brother ill-treated him, and thus he came seeking refuge in Rāma.
Sugreeva informs Rāma about the arrival of Vibheeshaṇa and expresses his misgivings about him, saying that he could be a Rākshasa in disguise trying to infiltrate into the enemy forces only to strike at an opportune time. He suggests that Vibheeshaṇa be killed.
Then Rāma asks all the Vānara chiefs to give their opinions regarding what should be done. Many of the Vānara chiefs speak up, essentially agreeing with Sugreeva, that the Rākshasa cannot be trusted. They suggest that they should send a spy to find out more about him, and take action based on what they learn.
Then Hanumān speaks out, disagreeing with them. He says that it is not practical to send a spy and find out more. He says that he rather sees Vibheeshaṇa as genuine, with a genuine reason to seek refuge in Rāma seeing the slaying of Vāli and Sugreeva’s coronation.
