Stanza recited by Vibhishan to Shri Ram: "Navi kund sudha bas jake, Nath jiye Ravan bal take". Means the Naval of Ravan contains the Elixir of his immortality. Ram pierced it with his arrow and brought the mortal life of Ravan to an end.
In Ravan's death bed, Ram told Laxman this verse: "Uttam Vidya leejiya jadapi neech pe hoye, Sona apaawan thour pado tahu na tajiye koye" which means: Take good knowledge from the worst person in the world because it is like precious gold lying in a dirty place!
We must know, Ravan was a great devotee of Lord Shiva and an extremely wise/knowledgeable person.
Dying Ravan's words of wisdom to Ram/Laxman when they bowed at his feet for his knowledge.
Three lessons shared:
1. Subhashya Shighram: Things that are bad allure us and we run towards them impatiently. But things are good for fail to attract us and we find excuses to justify our procrastination in taking them up.
2. Never to underestimate one’s enemy
3. One should not reveal one’s secret to life/happiness to anyone in the world
