Mahabharata mainly tells the story of the Pandavas and the Kauravas who vie with each other for the kingdom of Hastinapura, The Pandavas want to play the game straight and are prepared to accommodate the Kauravas, but the Kauravas under the leadership of Duryodhana want to destroy the Pandavas, Shantanu, the king of Hastinapura has a short-lived marriage with the goddess Ganaga and has a son, Devavrata (later to be called Bhishma), who becomes the heir apparent.
