his master to say what lie
present should make him. Viswa
mitra was annoyed, and told him to bring 800 white horses, each
haying one black ear. In his perplexity Galava applied to
Garuda, who took him to King Yayati at Pratish&ana. The
king was unable to provide the horses, but he gave to Galava his
daughter MadhavL Galava gave her in marriage successively
to Haryaswa, king of Ayodhya, Divo-dasa, king of Kasi, and
Usinara, king of Bhoja, receiving from each of them 200 of the
horses he was in quest of, upon the birth of a son to each from
MadhavL Notwithstanding her triple marriage and maternity,
Madhavi, by a special boon, remained a virgin. Galava pre-
sented her and the horses to Viswamitra. The sage accepted
them, and had a son by Madhavi, who was named Ashrfaka.
When Viswamitra retired to the woods, he resigned his her-
mitage and his horses to Ashfaka, and Galava having taken
Madhavi back to her father, himself retired to the forest as his
preceptor had done. The horses were first obtained by the
Brahman jfo'chlka from the god Vanma. They were originally
1000 in number, but his descendants sold 600 of them, and
gave the rest away to Brahmans.
According to the Hari-van,s'a, Galava was son of Viswamitra,
and that sage in a time of great distress tied a cord round his
waist and offered him for sale. Prince Satyavrata (q.v.) gave
him liberty and restored him to his father. Prom his having
been bound with a cord (gala) he was called Galava.
There was a teacher of the White Yajur-veda named Galava,
and also an old grammarian named by Pawini.
