Ambā Seeks Refuge with Rāma Jāmadagnya

तेन त्वं निर्जिता भद्रे यस्मान्नीतासि भाविनि । संशय: शाल्वराजस्य तेन त्वयि सुमध्यमे,परंतु भद्रे! भीष्म तुम्हें जीतकर अपने साथ ले गये। भाविनि! सुमध्यमे! यही कारण है कि शाल्वराजके मनमें तुम्हारे प्रति संशय उत्पन्न हो गया है

tena tvaṁ nirjitā bhadre yasmān nītāsi bhāvini | saṁśayaḥ śālvarājasya tena tvayi sumadhyame ||

భద్రే! భీష్ముడు నిన్ను జయించి తనతో తీసుకెళ్లాడు. భావిని, సుమధ్యమే! ఆ కారణంగానే శాల్వరాజు మనస్సులో నీపై సందేహం కలిగింది.

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights how actions done through force and public display can create lasting social suspicion and moral complications, especially for women whose consent is not central in the event; it points to the ethical burden of kṣatriya acts and the injustice of reputational harm.

Akṛtavraṇa explains to the woman that because Bhīṣma defeated her and took her away, King Śālva has come to doubt her—framing the origin of Śālva’s suspicion as a consequence of that abduction/defeat.
