MEETING AT LANKA

Meanwhile, in Lanka, Ravana was feeling ashamed and irritated at the way a mere monkey had destroyed tha Ashoka Vatika and burnt Lanka to ashes. He called a meeting of ministers and army commanders to discuss what next step they must take. All the people gathered at the meeting. They were all real flatters. They said to Ravana that no one could do him any harm. He must not let go of Sita, whatever may be the consequence. 

Vibhishana, the intelligent brother and devotee of Rama was present in the court. He said, “O brother, do not heed the words of these flatters. Let Sita be free and let her go to Rama. You have already incurred the wrath of Rama by kidnapping mother Sita. It is not good for you or our race.”
Ravana grew angry when he heard his own brother making such claims about Rama whom Ravana considered to be an enemy. He kicked Vibhishana and asked him get out of the kingdom of Lanka and Ravana were in danger. So they went to the other shore of Lanka in their flying chariots. They landed before Rama and sought refuge. Rama blessed them with his protection. When Sugreeva protested, Rama said that he could not deny protection to anyone who came to seek his help, even if he was his enemy’s brother.
