Everyone is familiar with the love of Lord Shri Ram and his supreme devotee Anuj Laxman. Both brothers had great love. They did not even care about their lives for each other, but there was an opportunity when Lord Rama had doubts about his beloved Anuj Laxman.
This was the occasion when Agastya Muni said that only Lakshmana could kill Meghnad, the supreme son of Ravana, then let us know why Rishi Agastya said this?
Once, when Agastya Muni went to Ayodhya, there was a theme of Lanka war with Lord Shri Ram. In such a situation, Lord Rama told him how he killed warriors like Ravana and Kumbhakarna and Anuj Laxman killed the supreme mighty asuras like Indrajit and Atikaya in the battlefield. After this Agastya Muni says that Ravana and Kumbhakarna were of course powerful and brave, but the greatest warrior was Indrajit, who fought Indra in space, and brought Indra a captive and brought Lanka to Lanka. After that Brahma ji sought Indra as a donation. Only Laxman could kill such heroes.
Lord Rama was very happy to hear Laxman’s praise, but he was surprised that what was it that only Laxman could kill Meghnad? Lord Rama asked this question to Agastya Muni, then Agastya Muni said in response, Lord could not kill Meghnad for 14 years, who has not seen a woman’s face for 14 years, who has not eaten anything for 14 years.
Hearing all this, Lord Shri Ram said that I lived with Sita in a hut and Lakshman lived in the hut next to me. In such a situation, Laxman should not see Sita’s face and not sleep for 14 years. How is this possible? Agastya Muni understood the whole thing that Lord Rama is deliberately asking these questions. Actually, Lord Rama wanted people to know the penance and valor of Lakshmana, and their discussion should also be in every house of Ayodhya.
Vibhishan has also confirmed the matter said by Agastya Muni. After Meghnad was killed, Vibhishan had told Lord Shri Ram, the slaughter of Ravana’s son Indrajit himself was also very difficult for the gods himself. Meghnad was killed only and only ascetic and yogis like Lakshmana.
Agustya Muni told Shri Ram that why not ask Laxman about this. Then when Lakshman comes, Shri Ram said, Laxman will tell the truth that you are asked. Prabhu Shri Ram said, the three of us (Ram, Sita, Laxman) stayed together in the forest, yet you did not see Sita’s mouth? How did Anhahari be given fruits, yet? And you have not slept for 14 years, how is this? Then Laxman told- Bhaiyya when we reached Sugriva on the Rishyamuk mountain looking for sister-in-law. Then he showed us some jewelery of sister -in -law Sita, and asked us to recognize. Then you will remember, I could only recognize the jewelery of the feet, because I never looked at them over the feet.
Laxman had controlled sleep in this way
Laxman replied about gold not fourteen years, he said that when you and sister -in -law Sita Kutia were sleeping, I used to stand outside for watching the bow for guarding the night. Once Nidra Devi tried to guard my eyes, but I attacked Nidra Devi with my arrows. After that Nidra gave up defeat, and she said that she would not touch me for 14 years, but Nidra Devi said that when Rama will be coroned in Ayodhya, then I will guard you. Laxman says to his Lord Shri Ram, you will remember when your coronation was happening, the umbrella fell from my hand.
Laxman did not eat anything for 14 years
When I used to bring fruit flowers, then you used to do three parts of it, you used to give me one part and say that Lakshman should keep this fruit. Lord, you have never asked to eat fruits, so how would I eat fruit without your orders? I handled them. Even today, all the fruits in that hut must have been kept in the basket, then Shri Ram ordered Laxman to bring the basket of fruit. Laxman brought a basket of fruit and placed it in the court. When the fruits were counted, 7 days of fruits were missing from it. Then Lord Ram said, did you take a 7 -day diet?
Laxman told the secret of those 7 days
He also revealed the secret of not having 7 days of fruit. Laxman said that on the day Dad’s self -destructive, we remained disrespectful. After that, the day Mother Sita was defeated by Ravana, we were uninterrupted. Then we remained unconscious by tied in the Harajfash of Indrajit, and the day Indrajit had cut the head of the elusive Sita, we remained disrespectful in those days. Apart from this, the day I was strengthened by Indrajit and the day you killed Ravana.
Laxman says that I took additional knowledge from Guru Vishwamitra. With this, a person can also survive without taking food without food. I controlled my hunger with the same discipline. And succeeded in killing Indrajit. On hearing this, Lord Shri Ram’s Bhava became divorced and embraced Laxman.
