1. Urmila (Spouse of Lakshaman)

Urmila is Lakshman’s wife. Lakshman went on for 14 years for Vanvas with his brother lord ram, but Urmila stayed on Lakshman’s command to care for his parents,

It is believed that Lakshman didn’t sleep throughout the 14 years. Nidra Devi instructed him to have someone else sleep in his place, so Urmila took this responsibility and slept daily in Lakshman’s place with Nidra Devi.

Also, Urmila is the only one who objects when lord ram sends Sita to live in the woods. She depicts the value of fulfilling one’s duties, love for her husband, and speaking up against wrong.

2. Sampati (Jatayu’s brother)

Sampati is brother of Jatayu. He played an important role in finding the goddess Sita. In doing so, he and his brother reached very close to the sun as they were prone to the sun’s harsh heat and Sampati covered his brother Jatayu with his wings to protect him.
