Lakshman 

Lakshman was the thied eldest son of Dasharath from Sumitraa. He had one brother Shatrughn who loved Bharat as much as Lakshman loved Raam, the eldest son of Dasharath from Kaushalyaa. it is believed that he was the incarnation of Aadi Shesh Jee who always protects Vishnu. That is why here also on Prithvi He followed Raam and Seetaa to forest. There are some notable events of His life.

Here this Shlok is controversial as it is not found in ancient manuscripts. In Sundar Kaand when Hanumaan shows the jewelry of Seetaa to Raam and Lakshman in order to identify that whether the woman who threw this jewelry down was Seetaa or somebody else, a list was narrated. But here no such list is given.  When Lakshman was asked whether he could recognize any of the jewelry of Seetaa, Lakshman said that he did not know the jewelry of Her upper body, but could recognize only Her anklets, for He daily saluted Her feet.

The traditionalists attribute the Kainkarya, the dedicated character to Lakshman, and establish this verse as a supreme characterization of Lakshman. Lakshman regarded Seetaa as his mother because the wife of an elder brother is also like mother.
