Urvaśī said: “My dear King, seek shelter of the Gandharvas, for they will be able to deliver me to you again.†In accordance with these words, the King satisfied the Gandharvas by prayers, and the Gandharvas, being pleased with him, gave him an AgnisthÄlÄ« girl who looked exactly like Urvaśī. Thinking that the girl was Urvaśī, the King began walking with her in the forest, but later he could understand that she was not Urvaśī but AgnisthÄlÄ«.
ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« ṬhÄkura remarks that PurÅ«ravÄ was very lusty. Immediately after getting the AgnisthÄlÄ« girl, he wanted to have sex with her, but during sexual intercourse he could understand that the girl was AgnisthÄlÄ«, not Urvaśī. This indicates that every man attached to a particular woman knows the particular characteristics of that woman during sex life. Thus PurÅ«ravÄ understood during sexual intercourse that the AgnisthÄlÄ« girl was not Urvaśī.
