One of this man's sons faced off against a Gandharva with the son's same name in a three-year-long battle. Mahabhisha of Ikshvaku was reincarnated as this man after ogling a goddess whose robe blew off her shoulders. This man married a woman who sat on his meditating father Pratipa's right thigh. While hunting, he caught the sweet scent of a fisherwoman from miles away, whose fishy odor had been replaced by the gods. This father of (*) Chitrangada gave one of his sons the gift of being able to choose when to die. After not questioning her seven prior times, this man stopped his wife from drowning their eighth child, thereby finding out that she was the goddess of the Ganges river. Before this man married Satyavati, his son Devavrata took a vow of chastity and changed his name to Bhishma. For 10 points, name this king of Hastinapura, a common ancestor of the Pandavas and Kauravas in the Mahabharata.
