		Kousalya, Sumitra and Kaikeyi are the three wives of King Dasaratha of Ayodhya, in the 24,000-verse Sanskrit epic called the Ramayana, and the mothers of the heroes Rama, Lakshmana, Bharatha, and Shatrughna.
		Hearing his plea, a divine being, purusha, emerges from the holy sacrificial fire, bearing a bowl of payasam, a milk sweet, and asks Dasaratha to feed the sweet to his wife; she would then have a son.
		Thus, although the King her husband gave Sumitra no Payasam at all, she gets to have two portions of it, courtesy her co-wives; she therefore becomes the mother of not one but two sons.

		The sons of Sumitra thus willingly let themselves be overshadowed by their brothers, preferring the mantle of kainkaryam to that of the kingdom.
		In such a scenario, if Sri Satrughna were to accompany the son of KaikEyI to her brother's house, it shows the depth of the relationship between the two, obviating the need for any invitation to one who would automatically accompany the other.
		This son of Sri Sumitra has been named "Shatrughna:" by Kulaguru Sri Vasishtta, who appears to have been adept at naming new-borns in a meaningful fashion, based on his reading of their nascent characters.

		That is why when mother Kaikeyi tells Him in the presence of His father about the two boons she had asked him, He welcomes the idea rather than perturbed over it.
		Instead of resenting the behavior of Kaikeyi who is instrumental in sending Him to exile, He rejoices over the prospect of meeting the sages in the forest and happy to carry the order of His father and wishes of His stepmother.
		Had Dasarata celebrated Rama's coronation function the same day he took the decision, instead of postponing it to next day, Kaikeyi would not have had a chance to ask Rama to go to forest for 14 years.
