Shatrughna is a Sanskrit name, meaning ‘the destroyer of enemies’ or ‘the destroyer of evils’. He was the son of
King Dasaratha and Queen
Sumitra, and younger brother of
Lord Ram. Srutakirti was his spouse. Shatrughna rarely speaks, and acts whenever necessary. From the character of Shatrughna,
the Ramayana projects the idea that those who serve most talk the least.
