Within a number of Hindu traditions Lakshmana is considered to be an avatara, in a secondary form to Rama's main appearance. In some Hindu traditions he is worshipped as an avatar of Shesha. The name may also be written Lakshman or Laxman. Lakshmana is the twin brother of Shatrughna, born in Ayodhya to Sumitra, the second wife of Dasharatha, king of Kosala. Thus, Rama is the eldest, Bharata is the second, Lakshmana is the third, and Shatrughna is the youngest of the four brothers.

But the way the story is presented, especially in the Ram Kathas of South India, is even more interesting.

As the hymns were being chanted and the crown is brought before Ram, Lakshman started to laugh, startling everyone.

Every person in the court — Ram and Sita included — was consumed by doubts and guilt, for each was embarrassed of some misdeed in their life. Each one remembered an event in their life, which they were not particularly proud of, and felt Lakshman was laughing at them. I find the irony of the situation hilarious.
