3.CURSE OF VASISHTAR AND GANGADEVI LEAVES CHANDHANU

Chandhanu was really worried and scared about her behaviour but this time he stopped her and questioned. Chandhanu asked about her birth and also the reason for killing their children. Since he questioned her, Chandhanu broke the promise that was done during the marriage. Gangadevi said that she won’t live with him anymore and also she won’t kill the last son. She revealed her identity as Gangadevi, daughter of Jangu Maharishi.She also reminded him the curse of Lord Brahma and the request of Ashtavasu. She also said that their eigth son will be glorified by everyone and requested him permission to leave the Kingdom. Chandhanu was very confused, so he asked her about the curse of Vasishtar and also the reason for the life of eigth son. Answering to his question, Gnagadevi revealed the truth. Vasishtar is the son of Lord Varuna and he was doing his meditation in the mountain Meru. He also had a cow named Nandhini. One day Ashtavasu and their wives went to that mountain. The wife of Prabhasan, one of the Ashtavasu became very fond of the cow and wished to own that. So the Ashatvasu grabbed that cow without the knowledge of Vasishtar and went away. When he came to know about this, he cursed them to be born as humans in Earth. On knowing this Ashtavasu returned the cow and requested him to take the curse back. But vasishtar said that, except prabhasan others will be relieved soon from the curse. Prabhasan will live in the Earth for a long time with all glory but he would be unattached from the marriage life. Gangadevi told this to Chandhanu , she took their last son and promised to return him to chandhanu during the teenage and she left.
