TRANSLATION
Having been cursed by Mitra and Varuna, the celestial woman
Urvasi had acquired the habits of a human being. Therefore, upon
seeing Purirava, the best of males, whose beauty resembled that
of Cupid, she controlled herself and then approached him. When
King Purdrava saw Urvasi, his eyes became jubilant in the ecstasy
of joy, and the hairs on his body stood on end. With mild, pleasing
words, he spoke to her as follows.
