"Lankesh, Yudh tab kare jab shatru ki shakti ksheen ho ya shatru ka dhyaan bhatka ho. Parantu Ram yudh hetu sajj hai. Aur unke shakti ke baare mei hum sabko gyaath hai. Khar aur Dushan ka vadh toh aatma-rakshan mei kiya gaya tha. Aap Devi Sita ko jaane de, aur Lanka ko sarvanash se bachaye." Vibhishan said.

He beseeched the other ministers of Ravan as well, who were supporting the cause of war just to get the favour of their king.

"Humare Raja Vaasna se ghrasit hai. Kintu aap sab apni mantrana se unke shubh-chintak nahi apetu shatru ke samaan vyavhaar kar rahe hai. Aap mantri hai aur Raja ko sahi path dikhlana aapka kartavya hai. Yadi Raja ko sahi path pe laane hetu uska virodh bhi karna pade toh karna chahiye. Kyuki yadi yeh yudh huya toh humare samast Rakshas kul ka naash ho jayega." Vibhishan said.

Before Ravan or any other minister of his could say a word, Indrajeet Meghnaad jumped in to give a response or more accurately, insult his uncle.

"Kayaro ke bhaati aap hume bhayebhit kyu karana chahte hai ? Koi bhi Rakshas unn 2 manushyo ka vadh kar sakta hai. Aur kya aapko mere parakram ke baare mei gyaath nahi ? Indra ko uske ghutno pe laane wala Indrajeet hu mai ! Pitashree, humare kul mei keval yeh chacha ke paas shaurya aur sahas nahi." Meghnaad said.

Ravan was puffed at his son's approval and he began to further insult Vibhishan.

"Mai sambandhiyo ki iss pravriti se parichit hu. Woh apne mei se kisi ek ki safalta dekh nahi sakte aur uss par yadi sankat aaye toh yeh sukh manate hai. Vibhishan, tumhe bhi mere aishwarya aur prabhutva se irsha hai, tum mere hiteshi nahi apetu Rakshas kul par kalank ho ! Yadi tumhare alawa kisi aur ne yeh baat Kari hoti toh mai uska vadh kar deta." Ravan said.

Vibhishan clenched his fists, the humiliation was far too much to endure now. His only crime was open disagreement with his elder brother for the sake of Lanka.

"Lankesh, tumhari buddhi bhrasht ho chuki hai. Tum woh bhatke huye vyakti ho jo apne sarvanaash ki oor badh raha hai aur jise uchit paramarsh samajh nahi aati. Tumhe ab tumhare paapo se chhutkara nahi milega Lankesh, tumhara annt nikat hai. Maine jo bola keval iss liye ki mai tumhare hit chahta hu, kintu tumhe woh accha nahi laga. Toh yahi sahi. Bacha sakte ho toh bacha lo swayam ko aur apne kul ko. Mai Jaa Raha hu, aur aasha karta hu ki meri anupasthiti tumhe prasann kare." Vibhishan told.

And saying so he left, no one tried to stop him. The few wise ministers amidst his sycophantic courtiers again tried to alert him about Shri Ram's prowess.

The men whose wives and daughters he had violated were too weak to retaliate, most lost their lives at his hands. But Shri Ram wasn't weak, neither were his supporters meek. They seeb the prowess of Hanuman and heard about Shri Ram's deeds in Janasthan.

"Keval safal aur samriddh Raja jaante hai ki kab yudh karna hai aur kab sandhi karni hai. Jab shatru ki shakti swayam ke shakti jitni ho, apetu yadi shatru adhik shaktishali ho toh sandhi aur maitri karni chahiye. Ram se maitri karna humare liye sarvottam niti hai." Malyavaan said. 

"Vyarth mei aap chinta karte hai. Ram aur Lakshman, samudra ke madhya stith Lanka tak pahuch hi sakte." Ravan revelled in this fact.

Lagta hai ki Ravan ko yeh pata nahi ki.... *Plays Gandiv ki strings*

Ram-baan ya Ram-doot ho
Sada vijay hi paya !
Jal sagar ya bhav sagar ho
Ram ne paar karaya !
