My only question about this story is why Lakshmana is sleeping.😲 Wasn't he awake during the entire 14-year vanvaas? Ranganatha Ramayana says the reason for Lakshman being awake is that he gave all his sleep to Urmila. Even other versions say he remained awake because only the one who gave up sleep and lead a brahmachaari life could kill Indrajit.
I forgot what AS Ramayan showed, but does anyone know how and why Lakshman slept when Ahi Ravan came?
