Sage Shringi was invited to guide the Yagya. He commenced the Yagya and offerings were made in the sacrificial fire. Being pleased by the Yagya, Agni appeared with a bowl of Kheer in his hand. He gave the kheer to Dashrath and instructed him to distribute it among his queens.

Dashratha gave half to Kaushalya and the other half to Kaikayee. Both Kaushalya and Kaikayee gave half of their share to Sumitra.

Some people have other version of the tale that, as Kaikayee was trying to give Kheer to Sumitra, suddenly an eagle appeared and snatched the Kheer bowl. As the eagle passed over Anjani's hermitage, the bowl slipped from his talons and the Kheer fell into the open mouth of Anjani as she was yawning, and thus Pavanputra Hanumana was born.
