he therefore got the maiden—who a brahman had been granted the boon that after each delivery she would be a maiden again—in order to beget only one son upon her, for his 200 steeds. This son was Vasumanas. Then Gālava offered her to king Divodāsa (V, 116), the Kāçi king, son of Bhimasena. The same arrangement was made as with Haryaçva. She bore him Pratardana (V, 117). Then Gālava came to king Uçīnara in the city of the Bhojas, with whom the same arrangement was made. To him she bore Çibi. Then Gālava took the maiden and went to see Garuḍa (V, 118). Garuḍa said that the remaining 200 steeds were unobtainable. For in days of old Reika sought at Kānyakubja Gādhi's daughter Satyavatī in marriage, and was requested by Gādhi to give 1000 steeds of this kind. Reika obtained them at Açvatīrtha, and gave them the king. Performing the sacrifice Puṇḍarīka, the king gave them away to the brahmans. The three kings had each purchased 200 of them from the brahmans, but the remaining 400, while being transported over the Vitastā, were taken by the river (so B.). Viçvāmitra, instead of obtaining the 200 steeds wanting, begot Aṣṭaka upon Mādhavī, and gave him the steeds; Aṣṭaka then went to a certain city (puram prayāt tadā Somapuraprabham) and Kauçika (i.e. Viçvāmitra) to the woods. Gālava dismissed Garuḍa, and returning the maiden to her father, he went into the woods (V, 119).
