Citrāṅgada died when he was young. Vicitravīrya married Ambikā and Ambālikā, daughters of the King of Kāśī. Vicitravīrya also died before any children were born to him.

At this juncture Satyavatī thought about her son Vyāsa. - [Previous: c9.4984](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4984) - [Next: c9.4986](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4986) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4985](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4985) · Pramāṇa
