Explanation

The Ashta Vasus (eight Vasus), Vedic deities cursed to be born on earth, were born as sons of Ganga and Shantanu. Ganga drowned seven of them at birth to release them from the curse. The eighth was Bhishma (who remained alive as a human). The Vasus are elemental gods representing aspects of nature.
