*Vishwamitra: is the preceptor of Rama, prince of Ayodhya and his brother Lakshmana in the Indian epic Ramayan.He gives them the knowledge of the Devastras, trains them in advanced religion and guides them to kill powerful demons like Tataka, Maricha and Subahu. He also leads them to the svayamvara ceremony for princess Sita, who becomes the wife of Rama)
*Gautam: a sage who turned his wife Ahilya to stone when she yielded to the desire of Indra.Thereafter the sage turned to his erring wife and said, " After a long time, Dasaratha's son will pass this way. When he sets foot in this ashram, you will be freed from the curse.”
*Lakshman: marries Urmila, the daughter of King Janaka of Mithila and younger sister of Sita.
*Parshuram: In the Ramayana, Parashurama came to the betrothal ceremony of the seventh Avatara, Rama, to the princess Sita. As a test of worthiness the suitors were required to lift and string the bow of Shiva, given to King Janaka by Parashurama. Rama successfully strung the bow, but in the process it broke in two. So when Parshuram turned to confront Rama, the destroyer of Shiva's bow, he could not pick up his axe as he was pacified by the brilliance of Rama, an incarnation of Vishnu avatara, and since he had blessed Sita he could not harm her husband who was a part of his own (Shri Vishnu).
*Meghnath: a warrior who was the son of the Lankan king Ravana in the Indian epic Ramayana. He was said to be invincible because of a yajna or sacrificehe used to perform before every battle. He twice defeated Lakshmana, but the third time Lakshmana disrupted the yajna with the help of Vibhishana and killed him.
Jai laxman ji
