Sinabi ni Vaiśaṃpāyana: Sa pamamagitan ng pagsamba na may mabagsik na pag-aayuno at pagninilay (tapas) sa diyos na may ulong-kabayo—si Hayagrīva—natamo ng pantas na si Galava mula sa lupain ng Pañcāla ang maayos na pagkakaayos ng mga Veda, sa pagsunod sa landas na itinuro mismo ng diyos.

Educational Q&A
Sacred knowledge is preserved and rightly organized through disciplined austerity (tapas) joined with devotion and correct guidance; effort becomes fruitful when aligned with a divinely indicated method.
Vaiśaṃpāyana recounts that Galava, a sage associated with Pañcāla, propitiated Hayagrīva through intense austerities and, by following the deity’s instructed path, attained the proper ordered arrangement (krama) of the Vedas.
