Once on a time Galava, desirous of securing what was for his behoof, addressed an Narada freed from error and fatigue, well-read in scriptures, pleased with knowledge a thorough master of his senses, and with soul devoted to Yoga, and said
स्वाश्रमं समनुप्राप्तं नारदं देववर्चसम्। वीतमोहक्लमं विप्रं ज्ञानतृप्तं जितेन्द्रियः। श्रेयस्कामो यतात्मानं नारदं गालवोऽब्रवीत्॥
