3. The ascetic, coming to him, was received with becoming honours and Galava urged that king to beget children.

5. This too is a mark of great respect for me that passing by many rulers of men you have come to me and without doubt this will be (i. e. your wishes shall be gratified).
6. But in the matter of horses, my wealth is exactly like his (Haryyashwa) O Galava; and I too shall beget only one ruler of the earth on this girl.
