Ramayana_VOLUME V with index

Vibhishana
Sarama and her daughter are shown the ring brought by
Hanuman:
Sarama, the wife of Vibhishana and her daughter, Trijata, came
to the tree and fell at the feet of Sita sitting disconsolate
thereunder. They enquired about her health. Since they were
partial towards her, Sita spoke to them about how the dream of
Trijata had come true, and how a monkey had actually entered
Lanka in accordance with it. Sarama and Trijata showed extreme
enthusiasm and excitement when they heard the account of what
had happened. They plied Sita with questions, in their eagerness
to know all details. Sita showed them the monkey perched on the
branch and the Ring it had brought. They both pressed the ring
on their eyes in reverent adoration. (RKRV Part II p. 137)
Hanuman found that these three ladies were the only friends of
Sita in Lanka. It was due to the solace and assurance provided by
them that Sita survived. (SSB 1996 p.58)
CHARACTERISATION OF VIBHISHANA:
Satwic Character:
Vibhishana symbolized satwa guna (serene, pure quality). It was only the
satwic Vibhishana who could get the grace of Rama. (SSS Vol. 31 p. 267)
Because Vibhishana had a satwic mind and a satwic heart, he could reach
Ramachandra. Vibhishana gave up and broke his connections with his brother,
his property and his wealth and reached the feet of Ramachandra. He decided
that all his wealth and all that belonged to him could be sacrificed for the
purpose of getting the grace of Ramachandra. If one has complete faith in
God, one can achieve any difficult task. (SSB 1977 p.156)
