Gālava was a disciple of Viśvāmitra. Once Dharmadeva, to test Viśvāmitra, went to his āśrama disguised as Vasiṣṭha and asked for food. As there was no ready-made food at the āśrama just then, Viśvāmitra took some time to cook new food, and he went with it, steaming hot, in a plate to the guest. Saying that he would return within minutes and receive the food, the guest (Dharmadeva) left the place, and Viśvāmitra stood there with the plate in hand awaiting the return of the guest. He had to remain standing thus for one hundred years, and during this whole period it was Gālava who stood there looking after his guru. When hundred years were completed Dharmadeva returned to Viśvāmitra and accepted his hospitality, and then only could the latter take some rest. - [Previous: c7.199](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.199) - [Next: c7.201](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.201) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.200](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.200) · Pramāṇa
