In the translation I read it was not mentioned. I don't think Lakshman Rekha is mentioned in the Valmiki Ramayan.

Lakshman rekha is nither mentioned in Valmiki ramayan nor in Ramcharitramana's aranya kand but the mentioning of lakshman rekha comes in Lanka kanda of Ramcharitramanas
"Mandodari rebukes ravana on his boisterous claims of valour by hinting that his claim of strength and valour is shallow for he could not even cross a small line drawn by Shri Rama's younger brother Lakshmana." (Ramcharitramanas, lanka kanda, 35.1)

We should actually be discussing this issue under Ramayan Disscusion thread posted by vibs.

So if Laxman Rekha is not mentioned in Valmiki Ramayan or in Ramcharitramansa, then why do ppl talk about it, because it happened. didnt it? If it did happen so then why is it not there. Sorry dont want to argue but just want to clarify the matter.

What is ur view? If it was not in original story why some later writers included it?
What was there intention when they included this concept?

Protecting somebody is never a insult. But its insulting when people blame Sita for crossing Laxman Rekha or maryada Rakha (though originally there was no such things). At that point I found it insulting. Even that dialogue used in Thursdays episode "Stri jab apni maryada laang deti hai to phir waapas nahi jaa sakti" --this dialog was insulting. I found it insulting when people blame only Sita for her abduction.

laxman leaves the cottage in anger beacuse Sita says some hurtful words to him. He didn't draw any laxman rekha.

wow never heard of this , thanks for information and welcome to RF😛

This is one of those facts that only becomes obvious when brought to ones attention. I too was never aware of this particular one. Just as a lot of people are unaware that Kush/Luv fighting Rama's army wasn't there in Valmiki.

Anyway, what other suggestions do we have so far? Maybe have Sita and Lakshman too speak to Dasharath when he appears?
