He placed his semens in the leaf and packed it. At that time birds knew the human's language. He sent his semens through the bird to his wife. The bird was taking it carefully. But another brutal bird stuck against him and the packet of leaf with sperms fell into the river.

The bird was crossing the river. The fish took that semens and the womb was growing and after sometime the fishermen cast a net and caught that fish.

The fisherman cut her and there were two children one was male and the other was female. The fisherman took them to the king Uprichara.

He accepted the male child only and refused to take the female child.That female child was Satyavati. She was brought up by fisherman. She smelled like a fish, so she was called Matsyagandha. This smell was spread all around one yojan So she was called Yojangandha.
