DescriptionArjuna and Urvasee (Urvashi).jpg |
English: According to the Hindu epic Mahabharata, Arjuna was once was invited to his father, Indra's palace, where one of the heavenly maidens, Urvashi (Urvasee) was attracted to him. She tried enticing Arjuna, but he showed restraint out of respect, since she had once been married to his ancestor King Pururava, and hence, Arjuna considered her as a 'mother figure'. Urvashi felt insulted because a mere mortal was able to resist her, and so she cursed Arjuna, that he would become a eunuch and have to live amongst women, dancing and singing, for the rest of his life. Later, upon Lord Indra's request, Urvashi curtailed the curse to a period of just one year.
