Shloka 25
गालवस्य विषादः तथा विष्णुप्रयाणम्
Gālava’s Despair and Resolve to Seek Viṣṇu
गालवकी सेवा-शुश्रूषासे भगवान् विश्वामित्र उनके वशमें हो गये थे। अतः उनके उपकारको समझते हुए विश्वामित्रने उनसे बार-बार कहा--'जाओ, जाओ! ।।
asakṛd gaccha gaccheti viśvāmitreṇa bhāṣitaḥ | kiṁ dadānīti bahuśo gālavaḥ pratyabhāṣata ||
ヴィシュヴァーミトラが幾度となく「行け、行け」と告げても、ガーラヴァはなおも謙虚に、しかも執拗に繰り返し答えた。「私は何を師資礼（グル・ダクシナー）としてお捧げすべきでしょうか。」—奉仕と教えの恩を負う身として、ふさわしい謝礼を定めぬまま去ることを拒んだのである。
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
A student should not treat learning as a transaction, yet should recognize moral indebtedness: gratitude and responsibility prompt Gālava to seek an appropriate guru-dakṣiṇā, even when the teacher permits him to leave.
Nārada narrates that Viśvāmitra repeatedly dismisses Gālava with “Go, go,” but Gālava persists in asking what he can give in return—signaling his resolve to honor his teacher through a fitting offering.
