नारदकथितं माधव्याः तपश्चर्या–ययातेः स्वर्गविचारः | Nārada on Mādhavī’s Asceticism and the Scrutiny of Yayāti in Heaven
गरुड़सहित गालव भी गुरुदक्षिणा देकर मन-ही-मन अत्यन्त संतुष्ट हो राजकन्या माधवीसे इस प्रकार बोले--'सुन्दरी! तुम्हारा पहला पुत्र दानपति
gālavastvabhyanujñāya suparṇaṃ pannagāśanam | pitur niryātya tāṃ kanyāṃ prayayau vanam eva ha ||
在征得苏帕尔那——噬蛇者迦楼罗——的许可之后，伽罗婆护送那位少女回到父亲面前，随即又转身归入林野。此偈以“义务既毕”的气韵收束全段：约定之责既已完成，允诺亦已如法取得，行事之人便不再有所索求，悄然退去，复归苦行之途。
