When Rama realized that he had fulfilled his duties on earth, it was time for him to return to Vaikuntha. Rama invited Yama, but Yama put a condition that their conversation should be confidential and anyone who entered the room should be punished by a death sentence. So, Rama entrusted Lakshman to guard the room so that no one could enter.
Meanwhile, sage Durvasa came and expressed his desire to meet Rama. At first, Lakshman refused politely but sage insisted and threatened to curse Ayodhya. To save Ayodhya, Lakshman decided to intercept the meeting. After the incident in order to fulfill Ram’s promise, he went to the bank of river Saryu and gave his life.
However, Lakshman’s death was necessary before Rama’s death as he was an incarnation of Sheshnag and he had to return before Vishnu could return to Vaikuntha.
