He told Rama that Ravana has stored the nectar of immorality in his belly and it is necessary to dry it. In the climatic battle between Rama and Ravana, when Rama was unable to kill Ravana, he revealed the secret of Ravana's death to Rama. Vibhishana freely divulged many secrets that became key to the success of Rama's attack, including revealing the secret path to the temple of Mata Nikumbala, the family deity of the Pulatsya Clan.
In the Lanka War, Vibhishana's knowledge about the secrets of Lanka proved invaluable to Shri Rama. Lord Rama accepted Vibhishana's service and anointed him the Lord of Lanka after Ravana's death. He divulged the secrets of Ravana's army and made sure Rama ended up being victorious in the great battle. His mother, Kaikesi, advised him to go and serve Shri Rama, who was at that time assembling an army to conquer Ravana and to recover Sita. Even though he was born in the demon race, he was alert and pious and considered himself a Brahmin, since his father was intuitively such.ĭue to Vibhishana's differences with Ravana because he was against the act of kidnapping Sita and most of all because Ravana wanted the throne for himself, he fled Lanka. He (Vibhishana) was younger brother of the Lord of Lanka, Ravana and King of Sleep, Kumbakarna. Vibhishana was youngest son of Kaikesi and Sage Vishrava, who was son of Sage Pulatsya, one of the Heavenly Guardians. This prayer was fulfilled and he was able to give up all his wealth and family, and join Rama, who was Avatar (God incarnate). He prayed that he should be given the strength by which he would always be at the feet of the Lord and that he would receive the darshan (holy sight) of Lord Vishnu. Vibhishana, said that the only thing he wanted was to have his mind fixed at the feet of the Lord as pure as lotus leaves (charan kamal). Eventually, Brahma appeared and offered him any boon he wanted. From his early childhood, he spent all his time meditating on the name of the Lord. Vibhishana had a sattvic (pure) mind and a sattvic heart. Later, when Rama defeated Ravana, Rama crowned Vibhishana as the king of Lanka. When Ravana did not heed his advice, Vibhishana deserted Ravana and joined Rama's army. Though a Rakshasa himself, Vibhishana was of a noble character and advised Ravana, who kidnapped and abducted Sita, to return her to her husband Rama in an orderly fashion and promptly which Ravana refused sternly. He was younger brother of the Rakshasa king Ravana of Lanka.
Vibhishana (Devanagari: विभीषण IAST: Vibhīṣaṇa or Bibhishan) was a king of Lanka in the legendary epic Ramayana.
