After a thoughtful exchange between them, Nara turned to Nārāyaṇa and spoke. Then, with the delicate blossom of the mango tree, Nara fashioned a woman whose thighs were as graceful as those of a celestial lady. When she emerged, her radiance rivaled fire itself, and her beauty was exquisite beyond compare. Śakra, the king of the gods, having overheard their conversation, approached the assembled deities and declared his desire for this wondrous woman, asking that her favor be granted to him. The gods, by the power of their words, bestowed her upon him, saying, “Accept this Urvaśī.” Because she was created from the mango blossom, she was thus named Urvaśī. Śakra then ascended to heaven and summoned Citrāngada, instructing him to act swiftly and with dedication. Under Citrāngada’s guidance, Urvaśī became highly skilled, excelling in dance and song, and she took up her abode in the splendid mansion of the gods. In time, the righteous son of Ila, Pururavas—renowned for his passion—witnessed Urvaśī dancing before Vāsava. Though his heart surged with desire, Pururavas composed himself with courage and steadied his mind, even if only for a moment. Yet, unable to contain his longing, he soon departed, overwhelmed and greatly agitated. Regaining his senses, he rose from where he lay upon the earth and journeyed to that land, his thoughts filled with memories of Urvaśī. Arriving at Citrāngada’s house, Pururavas sent a messenger with him. Meanwhile, heaven itself seemed empty to the gods, bereft of Urvaśī’s presence. Pururavas too wandered with an empty heart, deprived of her companionship. In his longing, he traveled from one holy place to another, until he reached the great forest of Time. There, he neither slept nor bathed, and he spoke words filled with yearning. At that time, the celestial nymphs—Rambha, Menaka, Pramloca, and Punjikasthali, along with Suryadatta, Vishalakshi, Chandra, and Chandraprabha—gathered and questioned Urvaśī, “O beautiful one with lovely eyes, why do you weep for the sake of a mortal man?” They remarked that a eunuch cannot know the happiness that arises from the union of man and woman. Hearing these words, the apsarases deliberated and turned their attention to the matter. There, beneath the shade of a tree, they found the king Pururavas. Observing all these heavenly women, Pururavas was still afflicted by desire. The apsarases recognized him as Aila, Pururavas, celebrated as the lord of the earth. As Urvaśī spoke to them, the host of apsarases listened intently. At that very moment, the venerable sage Nārada arrived. Seeing the gathering and the commotion, he inquired, “Why are you all making such noise here?” He then encouraged them, “Choose your boon quickly; separation shall not occur.” Nārada explained that by bathing at this sacred place—though considered unfortunate—whether man or woman, anyone who weighs themselves with sesame seeds or salt, or with jaggery or honey and offers it to the goddess Pārvatī, will find blessings. He further instructed that offerings of sugar increase merit, and applying jaggery to the limbs brings fullness. Twelve pairs of offerings should be presented as food to the goddess and the god. A belt made of vetra grass, a bodice, and garments of silk should also be offered. These rituals are to be performed in the months of Āṣāḍha, Śrāvaṇa, or Bhādrapada. Thus unfolded the tale of Urvaśī’s creation, her sojourn among the gods, Pururavas’s longing, and the sacred rites revealed by Nārada for the fulfillment of desires and reunion.
