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 ||
尽管毗湿瓦密多一再对他说：“去吧，去吧！”迦罗婆仍以执着而谦恭的语气反复答道：“我当奉献什么作为师资礼（guru-dakṣiṇā）？”——他寻求一份相称的谢师之礼，不肯在未报答侍奉与教诲之恩前离去。

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.
