{| Doubts and Discussions about Mahabharata |} - Page 2

@snow kid (sorry I dnt kw ur name) yeah even I thought tat it was satyavati s father..even the old Mahabharat showed it was her father nly..bt got confused by the promo.. so wanted to kw wat s written in the puranas.. thanks😊Edited by mythili2 - 10 years ago

Satyavati is the second wife of Shantanu, and she marries him on the condition that her children are given the right of the throne. [ I personally would like to believe she is the one who asks for the promise]
In some versions her father is the one who put in his condition.
Bhishma takes vow of bhramachrya . he is the one who approaches stayvati's father and gives his promise. he is Devarata before he gives his promise.
Satyavati was highly inteligent but unfortunately her methods to achieving the goals were well questionable.
but then we would not have had an epic called mahabarata if not for her.

thanks for the detailed info @varaali 😊

Vyasa is the first born of satyavati, I too have not seen the promo.
Her body is changed by Parashara instead of smelling of fish she smells of musk.

jaya, swaagatam, suswaagatam.
