Yuddha Kaanda - Sarga 85
In this Sarga, Vibheeshaṇa reiterates to Rāma that the killing of Seetā is nothing more than a trick by Indrajit. He asks Rāma to send Lakshmaṇa to slay Indrajit, before he completes the Yajña at Nikumbhila. Rāma instructs Lakshmaṇa to take all the forces with him and fight with Indrajit, assisted by Hanumān and Jāmbavān. Lakshmaṇa accordingly goes to Nikumbhila along with Hanumān, Jāmbavān, Neela and Vibheeshaṇa and the forces.
