Few years after crowing Devavrata, Shantanu decided to go an a hunt. Roaming on the banks of river Yamuna, he smelt a wonderful smell. Wanting to know from where the perfume was coming, he tried to follow the smell, to see what was the origin of it.
He saw a beautiful woman sitting on a boat. The king was enamored.
He approached the woman and asked her who she was.
She said she was the daughter of Dasa and her father had told her to tend to the boat.
The king went where Dasa, chief of fishermen lived.
Dasa seeing the king coming folded his hands and asked why the king had graced his humble dwelling.
The king asked for his daughter's hand in wedding. Dasa said he would only one condition, if the son born of his daughter would be made king.
King thinking of his son Devavrata went back home. He spent sleepless nights and gave up food. He wanted the woman yet he did not want Devavrata to loose out of what was rightfully his.
Devavrata found out what had happened and he left to meet Dasa.
