'After each birth, after each birth, you will become a maiden again. Therefore give me to the king, and accept the finest horses. From four kings you will gather the full eight hundred, and I too shall have exactly four sons. O best of the twice-born, let what is needed be gathered for the teacher's sake — such is my thought; act further as you see fit, O brahmin.' Hearing these words of the maiden, the sage Galava then said to Haryashva, protector of the earth: 'O best of men, Haryashva, let this maiden be accepted. For a quarter of the bride-price, beget from her a single son.'
