When the appointed time had come, the venerable Galava came to Divodasa and said: 'Let your honor return the maiden to me; let the horses remain with you while I go elsewhere for the bride-price, O lord of the earth.' Then the righteous Divodasa, true to his word and to his agreement with Galava, returned the maiden to him.

Galava returns at precisely the appointed time, and Divodasa gives Madhavi back while keeping the horses. Here dharma reveals itself as faithfulness to one's word: the desire for a son has been fulfilled, but this does not annul the original agreement, nor does it give the king the right to keep the maiden beyond what was promised.
