One Devyani with Sharmistha, went to a forest and played around. Yayati was passing by. Seeing Devyani, the king asked her who she was. She said was Devyani and introducing Sharmistha, she said this was her hand maiden. She then wanted to know who he was.
When she learnt that this was the same king who had rescued her from the well, she said as he had held her by her right hand, he needed to marry her.
The king said he knew that she was the daughter of Shukra, a great brahmin priest and he did not dare to marry her. Devyani said the marriage would take place with her father's blessings.
Shukra came and met Yayati. He gave away his daughter to the king. Sharmistha, as the hand maiden went along with Yayati to Hastinapur, wshere Yayati lived.
After some time Devyani gave birth to son who was named Yadu. One day Yayati happened to pass by the place where Sharmishtha lived. Seeing him, Sharmishtha confessed that she too was in love with the king and wanted him to marry her. She told him that she belonged to a royal family, and Yayati could marry her. Yayati agreed and they wed in secret.
Soon after Sharmistha gave birth to a son. When Devyani heard this, she wanted to know with whom Sharmistha had slept and how she had a child. Sharmistha said she had been given a boon by a sage to have a child, thus she had given birth.
In time, Devyani gave birth to another son - Tuvravasu. Sharmistha had three sons totally - Druhyu, Anu and Puru.
Devyani believed that these were the sons of Sharmistha and a sage.
The boys began growing up.
