- When it says that Satyavati became mother of a son, it does not discuss how she remained a virgin as he promised and still gave birth. At first I thought maybe it was another "miraculous birth", but then it mentions her having to become a virgin again?
- Who exactly was the father and why would he leave such a beautiful woman everyone is obsessed with?
- Bhishma's vow is very powerful
- He sacrifices everything, his entire future, so that the king can marry the woman he wants.
- I am fascinated by sacrifices and vows like his so perhaps I can incorporate this into the story about Satyavati's first love/ father of her first child.
