Detailed explanation-1: -After returning to Ayodhya, some people wondered why Lakshmana killing Indrajit was such a big deal. After all, other people had killed other sons of Ravana . However, Rama pointed out that Indrajit could only be killed by someone who had not eaten, slept, or seen the face of a woman for fourteen years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jainism. Lakshmana is referred to as Vasudeva in the Jain Ramayana. According to the Jain Ramayana, it was Lakshmana who killed Ravana, not Rama.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lakshman explained that he didn’t sleep for 14 years to guard Prabhu Ram and Mata Sita at night. Before goin to exile his mother, Mata Sumitra told him to guard Ram&Sita while they sleep. He didn’t eat for 14yrs b’coz Ram gave him food but never asked him to eat it.
Detailed explanation-4: -He begged the goddess to leave him alone for fourteen years so that he could guard his brother and sister-in-law night and day. The goddess, impressed by his act of filial devotion, agreed. But the law of nature demanded that someone bear the burden of Lakshman’s share of sleep.
