You have ennobled and purified the clan by serving so ardently
the very Ocean of Happiness, the Crown of the Raghu Dynasty,
Rama. Go, serve him with sincere zeal. Brother! I have to engage
in battle regardless of the fate in store for me. I am also nearing
Death. Ravana knows that my heart is not with him. I advise you
to give up loyalty to this side or that, but confine yourself to
loyalty to Rama.” Receiving this advice and the blessings of his
brother, Vibhishana returned to the presence of Rama. He told
Rama, “Lord! That mountain of a Rakshasa is Kumbhakarna. He
is a ferociously brave fighter. He has come to engage you in
battle. (RKRV Part II p.223-224)
RAVANA KILLED
Vibhishana came at that juncture to see Ravana’s body. At first,
Mandodari started scolding Vibhishana. Then, realising her
mistake she said, “Oh Vibhishana, there is no use in scolding
you. Very often, you counselled your brother well, but your
advice did not enter his head.”

nonsense
Unless the dross in the head is drained away, how can one
fill it with pure feelings (SSB 1996 p.81)
Rama and Lakshmana approached Vibhishana and consoled him.
They directed him to perform the funeral rites for his deceased
brother. (RKRV Part II p.260)
