Swarg like this, so when he met Vishwaamitra, Vishwaamitra agreed and sent him
to Swarg with his mortal body. On Brahmaa's request he had to decline but he was

1 daughter - Maadhavee (He gave this daughter to Muni Gaalav, since he did not
have the horses he wanted -
story of Gaalav. She had four sons
from different kings)
--How he was married to both? Once he was on hunting trip that he felt thirsty and looked for a well. He
saw a well, came near it in search of water but found somebody crying for help.
He took the girl out. She was without clothes, so he gave her own cloth to cover
her body. She was Devayaanee. She requested him to marry her, he married her.
Devayaanee brought Sharmishthaa as her maid. Shukra warned him not to take
anybody else to his bed.
--When Devayaanee had one son, Sharmishthaaa also expressed him her desire to
have child. Yayaati fulfilled her desire. Seeing this Devayaanee returned to her
father. Shukra asked Yayaati as why did he take a maid to his bed. Shukra didn't
agree to his justification and gave him Shaap to be an ugly old man. Yayaati
also warned him that it would affect his daughter too. At this Shukra relaxed
his Shaap that he could exchange his old age to young age if somebody is ready.
He asked his all the sons but nobody got ready to exchange his youth with his
old age. Ultimately his youngest son Puru gave his youth to his father in
exchange of his old age. He appointed him as the king after him.
--When Yayaati went to Swarg, one day he wwas sitting in Indra's court, that
Indra asked - "Who is the best man in your kingdom. Yayaati innocently said
- "I am the best." Indra got anggry at this statement and said -
"There is no place for the people who self-praise in our Swarg." And
Indra pushed Yayaati out of Swarg Lok. Now, fortunately he fell where his
daughter Maadhavee's four sons were doing Yagya. So all of them gave him their
Punya and sent him Swarg again.
