After ruling his kingdom for a long period, living with Satya- vatī and the three children Śantanu passed away. Be- cause Bhīṣma dedicated himself to a life of unbroken chastity Citrāṅgada was crowned King. Once when he went to the forest for hunting he met with a gandharva of the same name. Both did not like the other to keep the same name and so a fight ensued. It was fought in Kurukṣetra and lasted for three years. In the end Citrāṅgada was killed. Bhīṣma felt very sorry and after asking Vicitravīrya to perform the funeral rites crowned him as King. (Devī Bhāgavata, Prathama Skandha).
