Soon after her wedding with Shantanu, Satyavati gave birth to a son who was named Chitrangad. After some time, she gave birth to another son who was named Vichitravirya.
Some time after, Shantanu passed away, leaving Bhishma, Satyavati and the young princes grieving.
Bhishma looked after the young princes as if they were his own sons. Chitrangad was crowned king. As he was very young, Bhishma acted as the king in place of Chitrangad.
Soon Chitrangad grew to become a handsome youth, skilled in archery. He once got into a fight with a gandharva, called Chitraratha. For years they fought each, in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. In that, Chitrangad was killed.
On his brother's death Vichitravirya was crowned king. People started thinking of his marriage. The king of Kashi had three daughters for whom he was holding a swayamvar.
Bhishma hearing this news, left for Kashi.The king of Kashi greeted him.
