Haryashva accepted the maiden, joyfully welcomed Galava, and in due time and proper circumstance obtained the desired son. Then a king was born named Vasumanas: he was wealthier than the Vasus, renowned for his riches, and a giver of treasures. When the time came, the wise Galava appeared again; approaching Haryashva, whose heart was full of joy, he said: 'O king, this son of yours, resembling the rising sun, has been born. O best of men, it is time to go to another king for the gift.' Haryashva, standing firm in truthful speech and in manly resolve, because such horses were rare, once again gave up Madhavi.

The birth of Vasumanas confirms the truth of Madhavi's marks and of Haryashva's promise. The king honors the agreement: having received a son, he lets Madhavi go, because he cannot give more of the required horses. Faithfulness to one's word here outweighs attachment and the desire to keep her.
