जाय माय पायँ परि कथा सो सुनाई है। समाधान करति बिभीषनको बार बार, ‘कहा भयो तात! लात मारे, बड़ो भाई है॥ १ ॥ साहिब, पितु समान, जातुधानको तिलक, ताके अपमान तेरी बढ़िए बड़ाई है। गरत गलानि जानि, सनमानि सिख देति, रोष किये दोष, सहें समुझें भलाई है॥ २ ॥ इहाँतें बिमुख भये, रामकी सरन गए भलो नेकु, लोक राखे निपट निकाई है’। मातु-पग सीस नाइ, तुलसी असीस पाइ चले भले सगुन, कहत ‘मन भाई’ है॥ ३ ॥
Vibhīṣaṇa went, fell at his mother’s feet, and told her the whole account. Again and again she consoled him: “Son, what if he kicked you? After all, he is your elder brother. (1) He is your master, like a father, and the crest-jewel of the demon race; even his dishonor of you increases your honor.” Seeing him sink in dejection, she respectfully instructed him: “Anger brings fault, while patient understanding brings welfare. (2) Turning away from here and going to Rāma’s refuge contains some good, but protecting the social order completely is greater good.” Tulsī says Vibhīṣaṇa bowed his head at his mother’s feet, received her blessing, and set out amid auspicious signs, saying, “My heart’s desire is fulfilled.” (3)
