Gālava Completes the Horse-Gift: Garuḍa’s Counsel and Viśvāmitra’s Acceptance (गालव-विष्वामित्र-सम्बन्धः)

तमुवाचाथ गत्वा स नृपतिं सत्यविक्रमम्‌ । इयं कन्या सुतौ द्वौ ते जनयिष्यति पार्थिवौ,उन सत्यपराक्रमी नरेशके पास जाकर गालवने उनसे कहा--'राजन्‌! यह कन्या आपके लिये पृथ्वीका शासन करनेमें समर्थ दो पुत्र उत्पन्न करेगी

tam uvācātha gatvā sa nṛpatiṁ satyavikramam | iyaṁ kanyā sutau dvau te janayiṣyati pārthivau ||

นารทกล่าวว่า ครั้นไปถึงพระราชาผู้ทรงเดชในสัตย์แล้ว เขากราบทูลว่า “ข้าแต่พระมหาราชา กุมารีผู้นี้จักประสูติพระโอรสสองพระองค์แก่พระองค์ ผู้สมควรครองแผ่นดิน”

Educational Q&A

The verse links royal legitimacy to dharmic capability: the worth of heirs is emphasized as fitness to govern (pārthivau), suggesting that rulership is an ethical duty requiring strength and steadiness (satyavikrama), not merely inheritance.

As Nārada narrates, Gālava approaches a valorous king and presents a maiden, declaring that she will bear the king two sons who will be able to rule the earth—advancing the episode centered on securing outcomes through alliances and promised progeny.
