^ Clearly explains the reason why Lakshman decides to go with Ram and Sita
According to the writer...
Lakshman was aware of the presence of wild animals and demons in the forest!
So if Ram and Sita only left...then it would be an up hill task for Ram to perform all the duties...like collecting food and making other needs for them!
During night there was threat from wild animals and demons they both can't sleep at a time!Moreover he says if Ram sleeps then Sita might get frightened in the dark.So Ram has to keep himself awake!This will tire him more after day work!So if lakshman is with them then he can help them in the day and keep a watch during night so they can sleep peacefully!
If urmila comes with him then he has to fulfill her needs as a husband and will be busy over there!
Moreover he has to sleep with her during the night!
So then it would not be possible for lakshman to help Ram in the day and protect them during night!
I didn't get what you didn't understand...😕
I hope this explaination satisfies you!!!
BTW I got my own doubts🤪...plz do clarify!!!
What happens if Sita and Urmila slept peacefully and Ram and Lakshman gaurded them in the night!😆
I meant to say Ram can guard half of the night and later sleep...similarly Lakshman can guard them in the other half and sleep while Ram is guarding🤣
