Parashara was a renowned Author and a Maharishi because of his immense knowledge.
Once while crossing the river Yamuna, he came across a beautiful maiden, Satyavati who was also known as Matsya-Gandha (the one who smells like fish) was the daughter of the King of Chedi Kingdom, Uparicara Vasu, but the girl was raised as Kali (the one with dark complexion) by the fishermen chief, Dasharaja.
Parashara was smitten by her beauty and wanted a heir from her but she told him that she stank, so he used his powers and transformed her from smelling like a fish to smelling like musk.
