Text 41] King Purtrava Enchanted by Urvasi 201
TRANSLATION
O my dear King, you will be able to enjoy with me as my hus-
band at the end of every year, for one night only. In this way you
will have other children, one after another.
PURPORT
Although Urvasi had adversely explained the nature of woman,
Maharaja Purtirava was very much attached to her, and therefore she
wanted to give the King some concession by agreeing to be his wife for
one night at the end of each year.
