Many important and great characters have been mentioned in Ramayana. Among the great characters of Ramayana, the importance of Lord Ram, Lakshman, Ravana and Meghnad has been given a lot. The devotion and devotion of Lord Ram and the dedication and sacrifice of Lakshman are always talked about.
Amidst all this, a question always arises that why was the killing of Meghnad possible only at the hands of Laxman? Which characteristics of Lakshmana enabled him to kill Meghnad?
According to the story of Ramayana…
According to the story of Ramayana, Meghnad performed 14 yagyas, so that his powers increased and he could get boons from Lord Brahma. Meghnad had asked for two major boons from Lord Brahma after 14 yagyas. The first boon that Meghnad had asked for was that his death should happen only at the hands of the one who had not slept for 14 years and had worked hard without any rest while remaining dedicated to his work.
Meghnad had asked for another boon from Lord Brahma related to Goddess Nikumbhala. He had asked for a boon from Lord Brahma that whenever he wanted, he could perform a Yagya to the Goddess to get the chariot of victory and while riding on this chariot, no one could defeat him in the war. Lord Brahma had fulfilled his wish. With both these boons, Meghnad started feeling that he has become immortal, but Lakshman had served Lord Ram and Mother Sita for 14 years. During this period he did not rest even for a moment. He remained awake day and night.
Battle of Laxman and Meghnath
This is the reason why Laxman was able to kill Meghnad. Apart from this, when Lakshman got information about Meghnad performing Yagya to Goddess Nikumbhala, Lakshman without any delay sent Hanuman ji and a troop of monkey army and got that Yagya destroyed. Due to the failure of the Yagya, Meghnad could not obtain the victorious chariot. This was also one of the reasons due to which Meghnad was killed by Lakshman during the war.
