Reading Notes: Mahabharata Part A
One of the first stories in the Mahabharata dealt with King Shantanu and Ganga. Ganga wed the king under the condition that if he every treated her poorly or got upset with her she could leave of her own will. When their first child was born, Ganga cast him to the river due to her agreement with Vasus. This upset the king but in order to keep his wife he held his tongue. This occurred 7 times and when Ganga went to do this for the 8th time the king exploded on her and she left. She later returned to him with a son named Devavrata who became powerful.
