In his previous birth Shantanu was king Mahaabhish. He was a very good person and had a good friendship with Indra so he often used to come to see Apsaraa's dance in Indra's court. Once Mahaabhish was sitting there, that Gangaa also came with her father in that court. Mahaabhish could not remove his eyes from her. Gangaa also continued to look at him.
In the meantime a blow of wind came and it removed the cloth from Gangaa's body. Seeing this all others lowered their eyes, but Mahaabhish continued to look at her. At this Brahmaa Jee gave Shaap to Mahaabhish to be born on Prithvi along with Gangaa, and to Gangaa to take birth on Prithvi and live with Mahaabhish.
