Galav was a pupil of the sage Vishvamitra.
According to an Indian mythological story, when Galav was about to leave his Guru after completing his studies, he requested the latter to ask something by way of the preceptor's fee (Gurudakshina)). Vishvamitra would ask nothing, but Galav persisted in importuning him.
At last, in order to get rid of his obstinate student, the sage Vishvamitra ordered him to get for him a thousand snow-white horses with dark ears. Galav had to experience a good deal of trouble in procuring this rare breed of horses.
