Shloka 14
तरुणी दर्शनीयासि समर्था भर्तुरिषणे | अनुगच्छ पति मात: पुत्रानाप्स्यसि शोभनान्,माँ! अभी तुम्हारी तरुण अवस्था है, तुम दर्शनीय सुन्दरी हो और पतिके अन्वेषणमें समर्थ भी हो। अत: पतिका ही अनुसरण करो। तुम्हें फिर सुन्दर पुत्र मिल जायँगे
taruṇī darśanīyāsi samarthā bhartur iṣaṇe | anugaccha pati mātaḥ putrān āpsyasi śobhanān ||
„Mutter, du bist noch jung und schön anzusehen und vermagst einen Gatten zu suchen. Darum folge dem Weg deines Mannes; du wirst wieder edle, schöne Söhne erlangen.“

The verse emphasizes a social-ethical ideal in the epic context: a woman who is still capable of household life is urged to align her life with her husband and thereby sustain family continuity and lineage through worthy offspring.
The speaker addresses a woman as “mother,” noting her youth and attractiveness, and counsels her to pursue or follow her husband; the reassurance given is that she will again obtain good sons, highlighting concerns of progeny and family succession.
