The following song was sung by the famous emperor PurÅ«ravÄ. When deprived of his wife, Urvaśī, he was at first bewildered, but by controlling his lamentation he began to feel detachment.
This story is also narrated in the Ninth Canto of ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam. Aila, or PurÅ«ravÄ, was a great king whose glories were vast. On being separated from Urvaśī, he felt great bewilderment at first. But after meeting her briefly at Kuruká¹£etra, he worshiped the demigods with the sacrificial fire given him by the Gandharvas and received the privilege of entering the planet where she resided.
