Having regained Urvaśī at the end of the year, King Purūravā was most jubilant, and he enjoyed her company in sex for one night. But then he was very sorry at the thought of separation from her, so Urvaśī spoke to him as follows.

Having regained Urvaśī at the end of the year, King Purūravā was most jubilant, and he enjoyed her company for one night. Urvaśī spoke to him, since he was suffering at the thought of separation.
Personal Guidance
After their one night, separation distresses him again. Periodic access to a beloved often leaves the lover worse off than steady distance — intermittent reinforcement is the most addictive pattern.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I caught in an intermittent pattern that leaves me worse than steady absence would?
- What clean letting-go might be healthier than this rationed contact?
