Because of being cursed by Mitra and Varuṇa, Urvaśī came to earth. Upon seeing Purūravā, the best of males, whose beauty resembled that of Cupid, she controlled herself and approached him. When King Purūravā saw Urvaśī, his eyes became jubilant in the ecstasy of joy and the hairs on his body stood on end. With mild, pleasing words, he spoke to her as follows. Because Mitra and Varuṇa had become lusty on seeing her, they cursed her to enjoy like a human. Nara-lokatām means “she came to earth.”
