On seeing this, Chandhanu was very confused and called Gangadevi .she introduced that young boy to Chandhanu as their eigth son. He was very well trained with all the skills. Gangadevi handed over him to Chandhanu and left. King Chandhanu was very happy on seeing his son and announced him as the Prince. After four years, the King went to the bank of river Yamuna for hunting and he noticed a beautiful girl. He questioned about her and she introduced herself as Satyavathi, the fisherwoman. Since he liked Satyavathi, he went to her father and told him that he wishes to marry his daughter. But her father said he would accept his proposal on one condition. The son of Satyavathi and Chandhanu only should inherit the throne was his condition. Chandhanu couldn’t accept his condition, so he left. But he was unable to forget Satyavathi, he was in sorrow, did not eat well and got sick. On seeing him, Devaviradhan questioned the reason for his sorrow. Chandhanu felt ashamed to tell his son that he likes Satyavathi. So he said that he was worried about the future of Hastinapur and Devaviradhan. But Devaviradhan found something suspicious, So he decided to ask the driver of Chandhanu’s chariot.
