While Rāma did not reveal His strength and patiently controlled His mind, the son of Sumitrā was distressed with pain. Sighing like the king of snakes, Lakṣmaṇa was especially intolerant of the events, and His eyes became wide with fury. He was Rāma’s well-wisher and dear brother. Rāma then turned to Lakṣmaṇa and spoke the following.
Rāma then pacified Lakṣmaṇa who was furious at Kaikeyī. Lakṣmaṇa was especially intolerant of the events [that had taken place]; He was more intolerant than Rāma’s [other] confidential associates. Lakṣmaṇa has been described here as Rāma’s well-wisher and so on to indicate that Rāma could not disregard Lakṣmaṇa even when the latter was angry.
