This incident took place during Shri Rama’s exile in the forest. One day, Rama had gone out of the hut. Lakshmana sat under a tree, deeply worried about Rama. Sita, feeling sleepy and unable to find a pillow, gently rested her head on Lakshmana’s lap. When Rama returned, he understood the situation through his inner wisdom, but still felt that Lakshmana’s loyalty should be tested. So, Rama took the form of a wild boar to examine Lakshmana’s character. How he conducts this test and what unfolds is the theme of this story.
