The legend of the birth of Ved Vyas

In ancient times there was a king named Sudhanwa. He went to the forest for hunting one day. It was only after he left that his wife became menstruated. He sent this news to the king through his bird of prey. After receiving the news, Maharaj Sudhanwa took out his semen in one and gave it to the bird.

Maharshi Ved Vyasa

The bird flew into the sky to bring the two to the king's wife. On the way, that predatory bird found another predatory bird. There was war between the two birds. During the war, he got rid of both bird's claws and fell into Yamuna. In the Yamuna, a nymph made of fish lived by the curse of Brahma. The nymph of fish swallowed semen flowing in both and due to its effect she became pregnant.

On completion of the pregnancy, a Nishad trapped the fish in his net. When Nishad cut the fish, a boy and a girl came out of his stomach. Nishad went to Maharaj Sudhanwa with those babies. Due to not being the son of Maharaj Sudhanwa, he kept the child with him, named Matsyaraj.

 

The girl remained close to Nishad and was named Matsyagandha because the smell of fish emitted from her organs. That girl is also known as Satyavati. When she grew up, she started to work in the boat, once Parashar Muni had to sit on her boat and cross the Yamuna.

 

Parashar Muni Satyavati became enamored of beauty and said, "Devi! I want to cum with you. " Satyavati said, "Muniver! You are a theologian and I am a Nishad girl. We do not have sex. " Then Parashar Muni said, "Balike! Do not worry You will remain a virgin even after childbirth. " Having said this, he created a thick net of fog with his yoga force and indulged with Satyavati. After blessing him, he said, "The smell of fish coming out of your body will turn into fragrance."

 

When the time came, Satyavati had a son from Vedas, who passed from the womb. The child grew up and said to his mother, "Mother!" Whenever you will remember me in adversity, I will be present. " Having said this, he went to the island of Dwaipayan to do penance. Due to doing penance in Dwaipayan island and his body color being black, he came to be called Krishna Dwaipayan. Later on he became famous by the name of Ved Vyas because of commenting on the Vedas.
