Devavrata or Gangaputra, was taken to different sages by his mother Ganga, for the purpose of gaining knowledge.
Parashurama, the 6th avatar of Lord Vishnu, the son of Sage Jamadagni, the guru of Devavrata and also of Dronacharya. Devavrata learnt the skills in warfare from Parashurama, Sage Vashishta taught him about the vedas and Lord Indra, the King of the Devas, gifted Devavrata celestial weapons. He was skilful and had immense knowledge.
Once while talking a stroll, Shantanu saw that the flow of the river was shallow while looking for the reason he noticed that a young boy had built a dam with arrows using his celestial weapons.
