Who was Shrutakirti in the Ramayana, and how did she connect to the royal family of Ayodhya?

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: Ramayana Characters

Shrutakirti is a lesser-highlighted royal figure, often described as Sita’s cousin or a companion to the royal lineage. She marries Shatrughna, adding to the interwoven family relationships.

### Possible Heritage
- **Relation**: Sometimes considered the daughter of King Janaka’s brother, making her Sita’s cousin.
- **Marriage**: Wedded to Shatrughna, the youngest son of Dasharatha.

### Role
- **Supports Shatrughna**: Stays out of the main warlike events, as the epic seldom focuses on her.
- **Upholding Tradition**: Contributes to the continuity of the royal family’s next generation.

Shrutakirti’s significance is modest but underscores the Ramayana’s network of marital ties, ensuring each brother finds a partner connected to Sita’s extended family, thus harmonizing the Ayodhya-Videha bond.
