A son of Shatrughna and Shrutakirti, ruler of Mathura.
Accounts of this vary across texts and traditions. This entry primarily follows Valmiki Ramayana, with other tellings (Ramcharitmanas (Tulsidas), Regional and folk traditions) noted where relevant.
Subahu is a son of Shatrughna and Shrutakirti. He is not the same person as the Rakshasa Subahu whom Rama defeated in his youth.
According to the Uttara Kanda, Shatrughna made Subahu ruler of Mathura, and his brother Shatrughati ruler of Vidisha, before he left to join Rama.
