Yuddha Kaanda Sargas 87
Yuddha Kaanda - Sarga 87
In this Sarga, Vibheeshaṇa takes Lakshmaṇa to a huge banyan tree, by which Indrajit would perform the rite that makes him invisible and hence invincible. Vibheeshaṇa advises Lakshmaṇa that he should slay Indrajit before he reaches the tree. Meanwhile, Indrajit appears in his chariot and Lakshmaṇa challenges him to a fight.
However, Indrajit turns to Vibheeshaṇa and lashes out at him for deserting his own brother and his kindred, and serving the enemy. Vibheeshaṇa lashes out back at him, for the disrespect he showed to him, with no regard to his character, which is to follow Dharma and stay away from cruel deeds. He recounts all the evils of Rāvaṇa, and reminds that it is Rāvaṇa who abjured him.
