Today I wrote a drabble about
Who cares, about the goats, the ghee, the illumined nudity? Nobody, beyond the test.
Everything is a test, when you’re an apsara; even your very existence, when you’re Urvashi. Proof that Nara-Narayana could procure better to sate themselves should desire prove unbiddable? And then to turn her over to Indra like a gift, like nothing.
Everything is a test, a trap that has now been sprung. Urvashi is going home to her sisters, who never tire of her, who ask for no facade of mortality.
Pururavas will dry his tears, find peace in the sons she means to gift him.
