अम्बा–राम–भीष्म संवादः
Amba–Rama–Bhishma Dialogue on Vow and Refuge
शाल्वस्याहमिति प्राह पुरा मामेव भार्गव । मया चैवाभ्यनुज्ञाता गतेयं नगरं प्रति,'भगुनन्दन! इसने पहले मुझसे ही आकर कहा कि मैं शाल्वकी हूँ, तब मैंने इसे जानेकी आज्ञा दे दी और यह शाल्वराजके नगरको चली गयी
śālvasya aham iti prāha purā mām eva bhārgava | mayā ca eva abhyanujñātā gatā iyaṃ nagaraṃ prati ||
«منذ زمنٍ بعيد، يا بهارغَفا (Bhārgava)، جاءتني وقالت: “أنا لِشالڤا (Śālva).” فأذنتُ لها، فانطلقت إلى مدينة ملك شالڤا.»
राम उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical restraint and respect for declared allegiance: when someone clearly states their intended affiliation, the righteous response is to grant permission rather than compel or obstruct.
Rāma recalls an earlier event to Bhārgava: a woman came to him stating she belonged to Śālva; he consented to her departure, and she went to Śālva’s city.
