Sarg 69 - Lavanaasur Vadh 

Lavanaasur roared like anything. Shatrughn said - "Today all Rishi will be pleased  to see you killed, as all Devtaa got happy at the time of killing of Raavan,. When you killed  the king of Ikshwaaku Vansh, at that time Shatrughn was not there. Since I am here, come and fight with me." Hearing this Lavanaasur uprooted several huge trees and threw them on Shatrughn, but Shatrughn cut all of them with his sharp arrows. Then Lavanaasur hit Shatrughn with another tree which made Shatrughn unconscious. Lavanaasur, considering Shatrughn dead, didn't go in his house to bring his trident rather started eating his food.

After a while Shatrughn gained his consciousness he stood up and took out Raam's arrow. All became frightened to see that divine arrow. Devtaa, Daitya, Rishi went to Brahmaa Jee . Brahmaa Jee explained them everything - "This arrow was created by Vishnu to kill Madhu and Kaitabh. Shatrughn is the part of Bhagvaan so you need not to worry about anything."

Devtaa came back to sky to see Shatrughn and Lavanaasur fight. Shatrughn shot that arrow at Lavanaasur. It pierced his chest, went to Paataal and came back to Shatrughn. As the arrow hit Lavanaasur, he fell down like a cut tree. After Lavanaasur had died, the trident also went to Rudra in front of everybody. Thus all became happy and comfortable after the killing of Lavanaasur.

Sarg 70 - Shatrughn Habitats Madhu Puree 

Pleased with Shatrughn, Devtaa  said to him - "Hey Putra, We are very pleased to see your victory over Lavanaasur. Ask for any Var." Shatrughn said - "If you are pleased with me then give me this Var that this Madhu Puree (Mathuraa) should be our capital soon." Devtaa said, "So be it" and went away to their Lok. Shatrughn's army also came there. They all entered the city on Shraavan Poornimaa. Then many cities and villages were habited there and the place became very peaceful. Shatrughn was good at administration, so he very well managed it. Many Van and gardens were developed, colorful houses were built. Many businesses were started. Now Shatrughn had a desire to see Raam.

Sarg 71 - Shatrughn Goes to Ayodhyaa 

Since the killing of Lavanaasur till the kigdom was established and developed in Madhu Puree, 12 years passed. Shatrughn started towards Ayodhyaa. On the way, he stopped at Vaalmeeki's Aashram. Vaalmeeki Jee said - "Raam had to do a lot to kill Raavan but you killed this Raakshas in a few minutes. When you were fighting with Lavanaasur, then I also came along with Devtaa to see that fight. Hey Shatrughn, I am also very happy with the killing of Lavanaasur."

Vaalmeeki Jee kissed Shatrughn's head and welcomed the people who came with him. When Shatrughn finished his food, Vaalmeeki Jee's Raamaayan was sung with Veenaa (an Indian string musical instrument). Shatrughn got very surprised to hear that Raam Kathaa in poetry. He started crying with happiness. The people who came with him asked him to ask Vaalmeeki Jee as who had written this poetry. But Bharat said, "This is not the time to ask that." Saying thus Shatrughn went to sleep.
