Dear Sri Mani, I am not qualified to comment in detail on this, as I am a novice. I have seen a reference to Vibhishana Saranaagati in Paasurappadi Ramayanam compiled by Sri Periyavaachchaan Pillai. It is in the Yudhdha KaNdam section and is tansliterated as follows: kaana yeNGum kuraNGum mucuvum pataiyaak kodiyOnilaNGkai pukaluRRu alaiyaar kadaRkarai viiRRirunNthu selva vibiidaNaRku nNallaanaay viriNii rilaNGkai yaruLich saraNpukka kuraikadalai adalampaal maRucueythu, .... and then Sri PVP goes on to construct rest of Ramayanam from azhvar's paasuram. The above few lines seem to address the SaraNAgati for Vibhishana, but each line is from various paasurams. I do not have the details about which of the 12 aazhvaar's composed the above lines. You can go to the following URL to get the PDF/Adhawin verison of the text by Sri PVP. http://www.srivaishnava.org/sva.htm and follow the links for Sri Periyavaachchaan Pillai. I apologise for any mistakes made in the above summary.
