Tannistha
Part1
Hell breaks loose as Kumvkaran defeats hanuman and starts his attack on the vanara sena with double vigour. Bibhisan runs to him so that he can persuade him somehow to stop this massacre and take the blessings of lord ram.
He asks for kumvkaran's blessings so that he can always have his faith in the truth and Dharm, Kumvkaran replies kindly that Bibhisan must be knowing the concept and perception of truth and Dharam changes from time to time, age to age and person to person. He will do what his Dharam instructs him to do and mocks Bibhisan just as Bibhisan left his family and friends to be with enemy.
Bibhisan protests and says its not as his brother thinks, he tells the story how Ravan banished him after humiliating him in front of the whole court, but Kumvkaran does not want to listen. To him his duties to his king, to his brother, to his country is well defined and so he tells Bibhisan to go back to his lord Ram and fight for him, just as he will fight for his king. He will fight ram today.
He finally blesses him to go to his lord . he requests if all of them die in the war(which in heart he knew will be eventual ) , Bibhisan will survive them all and then he should perform all their last rites according to the proper rituals and lastly he tells him to follow his DHARM all the time.
In Lanka Ravan fumes on hearing what has happened. They speculate the conversation between the two brothers as the proper reply to the traitor
A broken hearted Bibhisan reports ram that Kumvkaran will perform what his DHARM is till his death, he will not leave Ravan's side.
Kumvkaran continues his rampage.
Ram says he respects Kumvkaran for his power and strength.
Laxman is furious. He says if brother respects him, how can they defeat him?
Even Jamvavan requests ram to reconsider that too.
