Chapter – 42– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Sundara Kanda– Ravana orders to throw out Vibheeshana and the elderly minister Malyavan from the assembly

 

Vibheeshana spoke fervently “Oh! Ravana, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you, kindly leave your arrogance and pride, and worship Lord of Kosala. Our grandfather Sage Pulasthya has sent this message to you through one of his disciples. Oh! Dear brother, make use of this auspicious opportunity.” Ravana had a wise and elderly minister named Malyavan who was immensely delighted to hear the pious words of Vibheeshana. Malyavan spoke “Oh! Prabho, your elder brother is an ornament of wisdom, kindly follow the words of Vibheeshana that would bring all the auspiciousness to you.” Ravana shrieked in rage “These two fools are praising my enemy in my own assembly, is there anyone to throw them out of my sight?” The elderly minister Malyavan felt humiliated, immediately went out of the assembly. Vibheeshana continued to pray before Ravana with folded hands “Oh! Dear brother, the Puranas and Veda highly emphasize that goodness and evilness exist in all the Jeeva, wisdom brings prosperity and welfare, and immoral deeds bring constant suffering and grief. Oh! Brother, at this moment, you are dominated by evilness, hence you consider enemies as friends, and vice versa. I shall tell you the truth, Devi Sita represents Kalarathri/darkest hours of the night, your fondness for Devi Sita would bring the destruction of an entire demon clan.”
