Gālava liked this plan and so when Mādhavī gave birth to a son he took her to Divodāsa, Rājā of Kāśī. When a son was born to him Gālava took her to Uśīnara, King of Bhoja. Gālava thus got six hundred horses but there was nobody else to give him the remaining two hundred. When Gālava was contemplating as to what he should do next Garuḍa came to his rescue. He advised Gālava to give six hundred horses and Mādhavī in lieu of the remaining two hundred horses to Viśvāmitra. Gālava gave Viśvāmitra the horses and Mādhavī and pleased with the gurudakṣiṇā Viśvāmitra blessed Gālava. Viśvāmitra got a son named Aṣṭaka of Madhavī. (See under Aṣṭaka).
