Vibheeshana enthroned by Raama

Raama asked Vibheeshana to tell him about Raavanaas strength and weakness.Vibheeshana started explaining.Lord Raama!Brahma gave Raavana a boon.Because of that boon,Raavana can not be killed by deities.Kumbhakarna is Raavanaas brother.His strength equals that of Indra.Raavanaas army chief is Prahasthudu.In the war against Kubera in Kailaasam,Prahasthudu defeated Kubera and his army chief,Manibhadrudu.Raavanaas son,Indrajith,is a great warrior.He has Avadhya kavacham.When both sides are involved in war,he would satisfy Agnihothra,by doing Homam,and then due to its effect he becomes invisible and kills the enemies.Besides these,Raavana has many warriors like Mahodarudu,Mahaapaarsvudu,Akampanudu,as his army chiefs.Raavana has crores of demons as his army.Raavana has defeated even deities in the past. Hearing these words,Raama to D like this.Vibheeshana!I can assess Raavanaas srength by hearing your words.Do not worry!I would root out Raavana,along with his entire relations and make you the king of Lanka.This is truth.Raavana might dissolve in Rasaathalam,hide in Paathaalam,or go to Brahma ,himself.Still,I would definitely kill him.Without killing Raavana,I would not enter Ayodhya.I am taking oath on my three brothers and telling these words.Vibheeshana saluted Raama and said that he too would help unerringly in killing Raavana.Hr pronised to participate in the war also.Raama hugged Vibheeshana and directed Lakshmana to bring sea water and officially make Vibheeshana king of Lanka. Lakshmana enthroned Vibheeshana before Vaanara warriors.Every one praised Raama.Now,Vibheeshana has no doubts that he would not be acquiring the throne at the end .Now,he would help Rama to his utmost extent.Otherwise,he might not become the king.Actually,Vibheeshana has not approached Raama with his eye on the kingdom.Hanumantha hinted this aspect while explaining his view and Raama also confirmed it.It seems they told like this to make Sugreeva see reason behind their accepting Vibheeshana into their camp. Because,Vibheeshana is a righteous man.He does not have the qualities of a demon.Soorpanakha told this fact to Raama in janasdhaanam.Then things were differnt.By then,even Khara and Dooshana were not killed.No one might have dreamt that one day Raama would come to kill Raavana.Because these are the words told by Soorpanakha,they can be believed.Even Raavana,himself,has acknowledged that Vibheeshana is a righteous and great person.Vibheeshana tried his level best to change Raavanaas mind from the wrong path.But it did not succeed.In addition,Raavana abused him in the assembly and asked him to leave.What can Vibheeshana do,but to leave him.Because ,he was striving to do good,he came directly to Raama without fear.without caring for his life,he came and stood amidst enemies.Then there is nothing wrong if he helps Raama in killing Raavana.He has to!When he joined Raamaas camp,he should definitely help Raama only,not harm him.If you want to help,you should do it whole heartedly.So,he did it willingly.He told Raama as how to kill Indrajith. After Raavanaas death,Vibheeshana is the rightful successor.Neither Raama,nor Sugreeva are interested in demons kingdom.So automatically,Vibheeshana could secure the kingdom.Raama has gifted him willingly.Vibheeshana can not be blamed or found fault with,in this entire episode. Even mentally,Vibheeshana and the vaanaraas became one and he was accepted into their camp happily.
