Satyavati smiled at Vishma 's suggestion. She then revealed her own past.

She had a baby before her marriage. “His name was Dwiypaayan ”: she said.

“He is a great scholar, a great saint, I hear”: she continued about her son: “They titled him Vyaas because he had classified the Vedas into four categories. He is dark. Hence his other name is Krishna. He lives with his father Parashar. But he told me that he will always be there for me”.

“Vishma, on our request, Krishna Dwiypaayan Vyaas will be ready to impregnate his sister-in-laws”.

Vishma agreed to Satyavati suggestion.

As soon as Satyavati recalled him, Vyaas arrived in HastinaPur . Satyavati embraced her son, soaked him with milk from her breast and cried.

Vyaas said: “Your wish is my command, Mama. Please tell me what do you wish?”

After listening to Satyavati's request, Vyaas said: “I will carry it out only because of you. Let the princesses be pure following the practices I suggest. It will take an year. Then they may sleep with me”.

Satyavati told her son: “One full year? That will not do. It does not rain in a land that has no ruler. The gods are not pleased with a land without a king. So no! we can not wait for an year. Make the princesses pregnant as soon as possible. Vishma will take care of the babies”.

Vyaas told his mother “I am dark and ugly. My body stinks. My rags are filthy. If it has to be done immediately, the princesses must endure all that”.

Satyavati had to cajole the princesses to meet with Vyaas.

Ambika entered the bed chamber and while waiting for Vyaas, she fantasized Vishma and other mighty warriors.

After a while, Vyaas entered the bed chamber. She was scared looking at Vyaas – his darkness, his burning eyes and long gray-black hairs in deep knots heaped on a serpentine pile over his head. She closed her eyes in fear...

After Vyaas came out of the bed chamber finishing his duty, Satyavati asked him: "Will the child be worthy of a king?"

Vyaas said: "He will be strong as hundred elephants, learned and intelligent and he will father hundred sons. But... he will be blind. It's because of his mother".

Satyavati was not happy. She said: "A blind man is not fit to be the emperor of Kuru clan. You must give them another son".

Ambalika – the other princess – entered the bed chamber next. But she tuned pale once she saw Vyaas. Later, Vyaas told Satyavati: "This son will be powerful, charismatic and father five sons. But... he will be an albino. It's because of his mother".
