Answer: the Sage Durvasa

This was the cause of Lakshmana's death. Many years after Sita left the Earth, Yama, the God of death, came to talk to Shri Rama. He wished to speak to him alone and requested that anyone who entered be given the death penalty. Shri Rama asked Lakshmana to guard the door so none would enter. As Shri Rama and Yama were talking, Sage Durvasa came seeking an audience. Lakshmana asked him to wait a little while as Rama was not to be disturbed. However, Sage Durvasa, famed for his anger, threatened to destroy Ayodhya (the capital of the kingdom) if not granted entrance. Poor Lakshmana was in a grave dilemma. At last, he resolved that it would be better if he were to die rather than Ayodhya being destroyed. So, he entered the room to announce Sage Durvasa's coming.

28 Who was Lakshmana able to slay because he had not eaten, slept, or seen the face of a woman for fourteen years?
Answer: Indrajit

After returning to Ayodhya, some people wondered why Lakshmana killing Indrajit was such a big deal. After all, other people had killed other sons of Ravana. However, Rama pointed out that Indrajit could only be killed by someone who had not eaten, slept, or seen the face of a woman for fourteen years. People protested that that was impossible. However, it was shown that Lakshmana was qualified in all three areas. Even though Shri Rama had handed him food to eat, he had never told him to eat. Lakshmana, in his loyalty, thought himself born to serve Shri Rama and did not do anything without being told. Hence, he had not eaten.

Before going into exile, his mother had told him to serve Shri Rama and guard him while he slept. So, Lakshmana did just that...and went 14 years without sleeping.

Also, though he lived near his sister-in-law for 14 years, he never looked at her face. He worshipped her, and only gazed at her feet.

Such was his loyalty.
