11. Examples of madd Raavan – Vibhishan
Vibhishan came to Ravan & fell at his feet. He told him that if a person wanted fame & fortune in life, he should not even look at another person’s wife. Kam & Krodh always brought about destruction; therefore they should leave everything & take Ram’s name since he was the King of all Kings, & would give riches, fame, knowledge & vairagya, destroy enemies & preserve dharma. Ravan was angry because they are in praise of his enemy. Vibhishan also tells Ravan about good & bad thoughts as Subudhi & Kubudhi, where Subudhi will always bring peace, goodwill & happiness but Kubudhi will bring about destruction & unhappiness. He also gives him many examples from the Vedas & Puranas but these only angers Ravan further. Ravan tells him that he was being traitor & taking the enemy’s side although he was his brother. Nobody had ever defeated him so he had nothing to fear. This is why he kicked his brother Vibhishan out.

12. Examples of madd Dritrashth - Vidurji
When, after losing in the game of dice, the Pandavas successfully passed the period of their exile and stay in appearance, and were denied even then of their rightful share in the kingdom, Vidurji was summoned for consultations. Vidurji had then suggested Dhritrashtra thus "O king, if you wish to save your family, you please abandon Duryodhan who is a picture of all the evils. He is jealous of none other than Lord Krishna. That is why you are getting dull day by day and loosing your happiness. These words infuriated Duryodhan so much so that he began to abusively insult Vidurji. But, Vidurji didn't mind his words even though he felt seriously hurt at heart. Dhritrashra didn’t also want to abandon his son so he kicked his brother Vidurji out of the kingdom. Vidurji silently left Hastinapur and went on a pilgrimage.
