"Rama said, "Hanuman had told me about Vibhishan on returning from Lanka. This is the right occasion for him to come here. He has sought the company of good by dissociating himself from evil influences. Hence, we should welcome him. I, for one, will not reject him under any circumstances. On receiving Rama’s signal, Vibhishan descended from the skies, fell at Ram’s feet, wept and said “Master! I am Ravan’s younger brother. I have come to seek refuge with you after being oppressed and insulted by him. Kindly accept me as your servant. Maharaj! Through Brahma’s blessings, Ravan is protected eternally from the attacks of the Devas, Gandharvas, Yakshas and Asuras. Our middle brother, Kumbakaran, is also mightily blessed. Ravan’s Commander-in-Chief, Prahast, had defeated Kuber’s commander, Manibhadra, in a battle at Mount Kailsah. Ravan’s eldest son is named w:Indrajit|Meghnad Indrajeet. He knows the art of vanishing on the [[battlefield, confusing his opponents."
