Gālava continued his education under his father. At that time Dharmadeva to test Viśvāmitra came to him disguised as Vasiṣṭha. Viśvāmitra came out with rice to receive the guest but by that time the guest had disappeared. But Viśvāmitra remained there with the rice for hundred years till Dharmadeva returned. All these years Gālava looked after Viśvāmitra's comforts. Viśvāmitra was immensely pleased with Gālava and allowed him to go away free without any gurudakṣiṇā when his education was over. Gālava wanted to give some dakṣiṇā but Viśvāmitra refused to accept it. Gālava insisted on giving and then Viśvāmitra asked him to give whatever he liked but Gālava wanted the Dakṣiṇā to be named. Disgusted with this stubbornness Viśvāmitra said "Go and get me eight hundred horses each with one of its ears black". Gālava was shocked to hear the demand and greatly worried roamed about in search of horses of the type specified. Garuḍa taking pity on his sad plight took him to the palace of Yayāti. Hearing the story of Gālava Yayāti sent his daughter Mādhavī with Gālava saying that if she was given in marriage to any king he would give him the eight hundred horses of the type he required. - [Previous: c7.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.32) - [Next: c7.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.34) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.33) · Pramāṇa
