Although for many years Purūravā had enjoyed sex pleasure in the evening hours, still he was not satisfied by such insignificant enjoyment. His mind was so attracted to Urvaśī that he did not notice how the nights were coming and going.

Personal Guidance

For many years Purūravā had nightly enjoyed sex with her and still wasn't satisfied; his mind was so attracted that he didn't notice nights coming and going. Pleasure that satisfies postpones the noticing of time.
