## Chapter Twenty-Three: The Story of Vibhishana's Misconduct **477** This wisdom, which has been rendered foolish by the accidental separation of the two kings' lives, is a result of my ignorance. It is true that the intellect of a human being, due to poor education, is prone to act in ways that are not beneficial. ||6|| This city of Lanka, situated in the middle of the ocean, which pierces the netherworld, is capable of frightening even the gods. How then can it be accessible to those who dwell on the earth? ||65|| "This act that I have committed is entirely unworthy of me. I will never again engage in such reckless behavior." With this thought, Vibhishana, radiant like the sun, returned to his palace and indulged in his pleasures. ||66|| Thus ends the twenty-third chapter of the Padmacharita, narrated by the sage Ravishena, which describes the misconduct of Vibhishana. **1. Gūḍhatva - Kh. || 2. Kh. B. Pustakayoḥ Pāṭhaḥ.** **Note:** The text uses the Jain term "naimittika" (निमित्तज्ञानी) to describe someone who is influenced by external factors and lacks true wisdom.
