Sauti: the sage
Janamejaya: the
king
Ganesha: son of
Shiva and Parvati (Shiva tore off his head and replaced it with an Elephant
head).
Amrita: the
nectar of immorality.
The ocean was
milk before salt – the serpent churned it.
What emerged:
Lakshmi, Rambha, Airavata, Dhanwantari with amrita, and also poison. Shiva took
the poison which turned his neck blue.A king falls in love with Ganga. King
Shantanu and Ganga are in love.
King Chedi has a
sort of wet dream (lol) when he dreams about his wife. The king charges a hawk
to carry his semen to his wife, but the dang hawk drops the king’s semen in the
water. A fish swallows it, and later on in the book, a fisherman captures that
fish and finds a baby inside. The baby was a girl and the fisherman decided to
be her father. He named her Satyavati. Later on in the book Parashara falls in
love with Satyavati and they have a child Vyasa. Later on, Parashara takes away
Satyavati’s fish smell and made her smell like flowers in lieu of fishiness.
The king fell in love with her because of the way she smelled.
The Pandavas are
born. Drona is the son of the sage Bharadwaja. Bharadwaja came in a bucket or a "drona"
- which is how his son, Drona, was born and received his name.
