Yes I guessed so. Even Indian version has a hint about it, if you read her birth story you can figure out. Anyway the fisherman knew that Satya was a princess. Does the Indo version too say so?
Matsya Raj GAVE her to the Chief of fishermen to raise apparently. Not quite certain if the Chief of Fishermen is the same as Matsya Raj since they mean the same thing
But the implication is that no one knew of Parashara or Vyasa till Satya revealed it. So I assumed Shanthanu only knew her as a commoner and not as a Princess of Matsya. In which case the fisherman he talked to was either Matsya Raj in disguise or a different person altogether😆.
What say others on the thread?
What I am seeing is really 5 generations of women with mysterious pasts somehow coming into the Kuru parivaar
- Ganga (tried Pratipa first, so you can even make it 6 generations) and Satya - Shanthanu
- Ambika/Ambalika and also Amba - on SATYA's instructions (didn't work) so Vyasa was called in. And why was Amba so vehement on MARRYING Bheeshma? Why didn't she just seek asylum in HP?
- Kunti - nothing mysterious, but also didn't work
- Panchali - Pandavas
- Uttara - nothing mysterious, but came full circle back to Satya's kingdom, by then Panchali had already done the work
What was it about this family of men or this kingdom? Can we discuss the possible geopolitics?
