Galava said This lord, the king of the Kashis, is a ruler of the earth endued with great prowess, and this ruler of men is a descendant of Bhimasena and is known as Divodasa.

There shall I go, gentle lady; follow me with show steps and grieve not, for that ruler of men is virtuous, and ever attached to selfcontrol and truth,

Narada said The ascetic to him was received with becoming honours and Galava urged that king to beget children.
दिवोदास उवाच श्रुतमेतन्मया पूर्वं किमुक्त्वा विस्तरं द्विज। काक्षितो हि मयैषोऽर्थः श्रुत्वैव द्विजसत्तम॥
Divodasa said I have heard of all this already; what is the necessity of repeating all this in detail. As soon as I heard of this, O best among the twice-born, this object (children) was desired for by me.
एतच्च मे बहुमतं यदुत्सृज्य नराधिपान्। मामेवमुपयातोऽसि भावि चैतदसंशयम्॥
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.)

But in the matter of horses, my wealth is exactly like his (Haryashva) O Galava; and I too shall beget only one ruler of the earth on this girl.
