Shloka 10
नारदकथितं माधव्याः तपश्चर्या–ययातेः स्वर्गविचारः | Nārada on Mādhavī’s Asceticism and the Scrutiny of Yayāti in Heaven
विश्वामित्राय धर्मात्मन् षड्भिरश्वशतै: सह । ततो5सि गतसम्मोहः कृतकृत्यो द्विजोत्तम
Viśvāmitrāya dharmātman ṣaḍbhir aśvaśataiḥ saha | tato 'si gata-sammohaḥ kṛta-kṛtyo dvijottama ||
“ধর্মাত্মন, এই ছয়শো অশ্বসহ তা বিশ্বামিত্রকে দান কর। তখন, হে দ্বিজশ্রেষ্ঠ, তোমার মোহ দূর হবে এবং তুমি কৃতকৃত্য হবে।”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes dharma as the completion of one’s pledged duty: when a rightful obligation is met—here, by delivering the promised offering to Viśvāmitra—inner turmoil (sammoha) subsides and one becomes kṛta-kṛtya, ‘having done what must be done.’
Nārada advises Gālava, who is striving to fulfill a difficult demand connected with Viśvāmitra, to present the six hundred horses (as obtained) to Viśvāmitra; doing so will end Gālava’s anxiety and complete his undertaking.
