The beautiful maiden said, "O King! I will marry you on one condition. You will never ask me who I am,or from where I come. Whatever I do, good or bad, you will neither stand in my way, nor ask me anything about it. If you fail to fulfill this condition, I will leave you.Do you agree?"
Shantanu was madly in love with the beautiful maiden.Thoughtlessly, he said to her, "I agree."
Shantanu was married to that maiden.
In due course, the queen gave birth to a lovely baby boy.
She took her newborn son to the banks of the river Ganga and drowned him into the river!
