Divodāsa–Mādhavī Saṃvāda: Pratardana-janma and Kanyā-niryātana (दिवोदास–माधवी संवादः / प्रतर्दन-जननम् / कन्या-निर्यातनम्)
एवमुक्तस्तु स मुनि: कन््यया गालवस्तदा । हर्यश्नं पृथिवीपालमिदं वचनमत्रवीत्,कन्याके ऐसा कहनेपर उस समय गालव मुनिने भूपाल हर्यश्वसे यह बात कही --
evam uktas tu sa muniḥ kanyayā gālavastadā | haryaśvaṃ pṛthivīpālam idaṃ vacanam abravīt ||
Nang masabihan siya ng dalaga nang gayon, ang pantas na si Gālava ay nagsalita noon ng mga salitang ito kay Haring Haryaśva, ang tagapamahala ng lupa—ipinagpatuloy ang pakikipagkasundo nang may paggalang sa nararapat at sa mga tungkuling nagbubuklod sa kapwa asceta at hari.

Educational Q&A
The verse frames a dharmic exchange: when approached or challenged (here by the maiden), one should respond through orderly speech and proper address—especially in dealings between an ascetic and a king—so that negotiations proceed within ethical and social norms.
After the maiden speaks, the sage Gālava turns to King Haryaśva and begins to state his request or proposal, marking a transition to the king’s role in resolving the situation.
