Shloka 34
अम्बाया रामजामदग्न्यशरणगमनम्
Ambā Seeks Refuge with Rāma Jāmadagnya
अथवा ते मतिस्तत्र राजपुत्रि न वर्तते । यावच्छाल्वपतिं वीर॑ योजयाम्यत्र कर्मणि
athavā te matis tatra rājaputri na vartate | yāvac chālvapatiṁ vīraṁ yojayāmy atra karmaṇi ||
अथवा, राजकुमारी! यदि वहाँ जाने का तेरा विचार न हो, तो मैं वीर शाल्वपति को ही पहले इस कार्य में नियुक्त कर दूँगा—अर्थात् तेरा विवाह उसी से करा दूँगा।
राम उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how royal duty and political-social obligations can drive decisions like marriage alliances; it also implicitly raises the ethical tension between personal intention (mati) and authoritative arrangement by a guardian/king.
Rāma addresses a princess: if she does not intend to go to the proposed place/plan, he will instead engage the heroic king of Śālva in the matter—explicitly by arranging her marriage with him.
