chandayām āsa so 'bravīt
chandayām āsa so 'bravīt
tan-mantri-prahitair viprair
vedād vibhraṁśito girā
veda-vādātivādān vai
tadā devo vavarṣa ha
devāpir yogam āsthāya
kalāpa-grāmam āśritaḥ
When the brāhmaṇas said this, Mahārāja Śāntanu requested his elder brother Devāpi to take charge of the kingdom. Previously, however, Śāntanu's minister Aśvavāra had instigated some brāhmaṇas to induce Devāpi to transgress the injunctions of the Vedas. He thus blasphemed the Vedic principles. Under the circumstances, Śāntanu again became the king, and Indra, being pleased, showered rains. Devāpi later took to the path of mystic yoga in a village named Kalāpagrāma.
He requested Devāpi to rule the kingdom. Devāpi made statements criticizing the Vedas. The cause is explained. Before Śāntanu made his request, Śāntanu’s minister Aśvavāra made Devāpi a heretic in order to make him unsuitable to rule. Unknown to Śāntanu, he sent brāhmaṇas who made him deviate from the Vedas by uttering heretical words. Since Devāpi was unsuitable to rule because of his degradation, there was no fault in Śāntanu ruling. Indra then supplied rain.

After the dynasty of the moon-god comes to an end in this age of Kali, Devāpi, in the beginning of the next Satya-yuga, will reestablish the Soma dynasty in this world. From Bāhlīka, the brother of Śāntanu, came a son named Somadatta, who had three sons, named Bhūri, Bhūriśravā and Śala. From Śāntanu, through the womb of his wife named Gaṅgā, came Bhīṣma, the exalted, self-realized devotee and learned scholar.
