Lord Laxman is the younger brother of Lord Rama. His performance of
duties as a younger brother is that of sacrifice and superior character,
such duties are actually difficult to perform. Lord Laxmana was very
dedicated and loyal to his elder brother Lord Rama. In comparison to
Lord Rama, Laxmana is shot tempered. But Laxmana is also considered as a
vital element of Mariyada Purushottam, as he had displayed presence of
mind and courage when Rama had become desperate and angry over the loss
of Sita. In such a situation Laxmana had displayed a matured behavior
and had calmed Lord Rama. Lord Laxmana's life is a symbol of duties
performed by a man towards his elders and also depicts the nature of
selflessness in a man's character.
