Explanation

When Ravana ordered Hanuman's execution after his tail was set on fire, Vibhishana pleaded for Hanuman's life, citing the diplomatic principle that an envoy should not be killed. Vibhishana, Ravana's righteous brother who had earlier counselled returning Sita, argued that killing Hanuman would be against dharma and established conventions regarding messengers. This intervention saved Hanuman's life.
