Uparichara was flying on his personalized cloud. He finally got out of the friend zone with his long time crush, Umana, who was sitting next to him. Every time Uparichara gazed at her, he could see the stars and heavens through her eyes. Her hair formed roaring waves that sailors could get lost in. Chocolate-colored angel kisses sprinkled Umana's cheeks. She had lips like a ripe, juicy strawberry. As they were flying, Uparichara stole a kiss from her. The sensation he felt from her lips became too overwhelming, causing Uparichara to ejaculate above a flowing river. Umana gasped and quickly slapped him. She started to blush.

A couple of months later, several fishermen saw grown men walking out of the river. These men became known as the Nadi. The Nadi had a special aura around them; they had unique abilities and were all unnecessarily handsome. For example, at night, they would return to the river and stay there until the morning broke. No one knew where they went to while they were in the river.

No one knew where they went to while they were in the river.
Several people noticed that the Nadi were only men; no one has encountered a woman Nadi. The word on the street was that there is, in fact, a Nadi woman. However, the elusive woman resides in a black pearl located in somewhere in the river. The rumor of the black pearl enticed the mightiest kings and lustful rakshasas. Furthermore, whoever obtained this pearl would have the only living Nadi woman. Everyone assumed that since all the Nadi men were handsome, then the only Nadi woman must be drop-dead gorgeous.

A race to find the black pearl soon ensued. All types of demons and warriors of many kings were on a hunt to find this princess. After years of no luck, a king asked the help of the Goddess Ganges to dry the river so that his servants and soldiers might look on the river bed for the clam. The Goddess claimed that the pearl was not like a regular pearl that belonged in a clam. She hinted with, "The pearl is seen but not seen by its protector."

With a puzzled look, the king begged for the Goddess to help him. "The fairest Goddess of all, please help me in my quest. I will do whatever you ask of me," said the king.

With some pondering, Ganges thought of an idea. "Alright, king. I shall help you this once. My order is that every time you have a newborn, you and only you must throw them into the roaring river without saying a word," said Ganges.

With his first newborn, the king laid the baby into the river. He thought, "One down. How long shall I do this for?" For all of his beautiful newborns, the king had his servants create a special carrier for the baby. At every instant, Ganges observed the king throw them into the river. What the king didn't know is that these newborns would become the protectors of the other mighty rivers. For example, the very first baby would be named Ya Muna after the Yamuna River. When the baby passed through the roughest part of the river, Ganges would sweep up the little bundle of joy and kiss them on the forehead. The babies became beautiful, strong women just like the Goddess Ganges. Together, they ruled and protected the major rivers of India.

After six deaths, the king felt like he couldn't do it a seventh time. Walking up to the river, he knew he couldn't show any hesitation, or else Ganges wouldn't grant his boon. He laid his baby on the calm waters and pushed them down the river. That night Ganges appeared in his dream and showed him that his daughters became masters of the rivers. Since he did what he was supposed to do without hesitation, Ganges granted his favor. The next day, Ganges dried out the river for thirty minutes. The king had all of his servants and soldiers searching for the pearl.

They killed hundreds of clams without luck. The king then remembered the riddle that Ganges said: the pearl is seen but not seen by its protector. They had reached the time limit, and soon the river rehydrated. With broken spirits, the king sat next to the riverside, looking up into the sky. He saw an eagle snatch an abnormally large fish from the river. He observed the eagle struggle with carrying the huge fish. He noticed the eye of the fish sparkled in the sunlight, and in that instant, he realized that the pearl's protector was actually a fish. He ordered his most skilled archer, who just happened to be there next to him, to shoot the fish. The archer aimed and hit the mark, causing the fish to fall back to the Earth. The king and his servants ran to the fish and examined its eye; it was entirely black, but it was shiny. The king squeezed the eye out, which was hard, unlike an actual fish eye. He cracked the pearl, and out came the Nadi woman, Satyavati. However, to everyone's surprise, Satyavati had shiny scales all over her body and pulsating gills on her neck.

The king promised to remove her fishy characteristics only if she agreed to marry his son. She decided to do so, and soon after, they became married. After removing the gills and scaly skin, Satyavati was indeed one of the most exquisite women to have ever lived.

In the original story, Uparichara was a king who was devoted to ascetism. He was flying over a river when his semen fell into the water below him. A female fish swallowed his children which ended up in the creation of a boy and a girl. A fisherman, who caught the fish and discovered the two kids, told this to the king. The king ended taking the boy but leaving the girl, Satyvati, to the ferryman. Satyvati was beautiful but had a fishy smell so a rishi promised her to remove the smell if she remained a virgin.

My story focused more on the beginning of the Mahabharata rather than the whole thing. Many details within my story come from different sources. For starters, I got the idea of the Nadi people from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In the game, there is a race of aquatic humanoid creatures called the Zora. I used the word Nadi because it means river in Sanskrit, and I thought it fitted Uparichara's children since they came from the river. Earlier in the semester, a story that I read inspired me to use names that had meaning behind them; by doing so, it makes the story have more sense to it rather than use random names.

The idea to use the black pearl for Satyvati actually came from my childhood anime, Inuyasha. The riddle that Goddess Ganges gave to the king came from the anime where the pearl was inside the right eye of Inuyasha.
