Full sarga summary
Going ahead alone, Shatrughna lodges at Valmiki's hermitage, where the sage tells of his ancestor Saudasa (Kalmashapada): how, having slain one of two rakshasas, the king was tricked by the survivor, disguised as Vasishtha, into serving human flesh and was cursed -- his own counter-curse, stayed by his wife, fell on his feet and spotted them, and Vasishtha later limited the curse to twelve years.
