Story - When Sri Rama returned to Ayodhya after conquering Lanka and became the king of Ayodhya. One day Yama Devta came to Shri Rama to discuss. He told Shriram that you fulfill whatever you pledge. I also ask you a promise that as long as the conversation between me and you goes, no one will come between us and whatever comes, you will have to give the death penalty. Lord Rama promised Yama. Rama appointed Lakshmana as the gatekeeper, saying that unless he and Yama are talked about, he should not let anyone come in, otherwise he will have to pay them the death penalty. Laxman obeyed his brother and stood as the gatekeeper.

Laxman became the gatekeeper shortly after that the sage Durvasa arrived there. When Durvasa asked Lakshmana to inform Rama about his arrival, Lakshmana politely declined. Durvasa got angry on this and he said to curse the entire Ayodhya. Laxman understood that this was a terrible situation in which either he would have to violate Ramagya or he would have to burn the entire city in the fire of the sage's curse. Laxman soon decided that he would have to sacrifice himself so that he could save the town people from the curse of the sage. He went inside and informed about the arrival of sage Durvasa. Rama hastily ended his conversation with Yama and paid obeisance to sage Durvasa. But now Shri Ram got confused because he had to punish Laxman as per his promise. He could not understand how to give death sentence to his brother, but he had promised to Yama who had to fulfill it.

In the event of this dilemma, Sri Rama remembered his Guru and asked him to show some way. Guru Dev said that the sacrifice of a loved one is the same as his death. Therefore, to abide by your word, abandon Lakshmana. But as soon as Laxman heard this, he told Rama that you should not sacrifice me even by forgetting, it is better to stay away from you that I should embrace death by following your word. Having said this, Lakshman took water tomb.
