प्रतिगृह्य स तां कन्यां गालवं प्रतिनन्द्य च । समये देशकाले च लब्धवान्सुतमीप्सितम्॥५-११४-१६॥

Having accepted the maiden and having duly honored Gālava, he obtained the desired son at the proper time, place, and occasion.

english translation

ततो वसुमना नाम वसुभ्यो वसुमत्तरः । वसुप्रख्यो नरपतिः स बभूव वसुप्रदः॥५-११४-१७॥

Thereafter a king named Vasumanā was born—more affluent than the Vasus, renowned for wealth, and a giver of riches.

english translation

अथ काले पुनर्धीमान्गालवः प्रत्युपस्थितः । उपसंगम्य चोवाच हर्यश्वं प्रीतिमानसम्॥५-११४-१८॥

Then, in due course, the wise Gālava returned. Approaching Haryaśva—whose disposition was pleased—he spoke to him.

english translation

जातो नृप सुतस्तेऽयं बालभास्करसंनिभः । कालो गन्तुं नरश्रेष्ठ भिक्षार्थमपरं नृपम्॥५-११४-१९॥

O king, this son of yours has been born, like the rising sun. O best of men, now is the time to depart and approach another king to seek alms and aid.

english translation

हर्यश्वः सत्यवचने स्थितः स्थित्वा च पौरुषे । दुर्लभत्वाद्धयानां च प्रददौ माधवीं पुनः॥५-११४-२०॥

Haryaśva, steadfast in truthful speech and firm in resolve, and because the horses were hard to obtain, returned Mādhavī once again (to Gālava).
