Urvashi (Sanskrit: उर्वशी, lit. she who is born from Lord Vishnu's thighs) is an Apsara (nymph) in Hindu legend. Monier Monier-Williams proposes a different etymology in which the name means 'widely pervasive' and suggests that in its first appearances in Vedic texts it is a name for the dawn goddess. She was a celestial maiden in Indra's court and was considered the most beautiful of all the Apsaras.
She became the wife of king Pururavas (Purūrávas, from purū+rávas "crying much or loudly"), an ancient chief of the lunar race. ShBr 11.5.1, and treated in Kalidasa's drama Vikramōrvaśīyam.
She is perennially youthful and infinitely charming but always elusive. She is a source as much of delight as of dolour.
There are many legends about the birth of Urvashi but the following one is most prevalent.
Once the revered sages Nara-narayana was meditating in the holy shrine of Badrinath Temple situated in the Himalayas. Indra, the king of the Gods, did not want the sage to acquire divine powers through meditation and sent two apsaras to distract him. The sage struck his thigh and created a woman so beautiful that Indra’s apsaras were left matchless. This was Urvashi, named from ur, the Sanskrit word for thigh. After his meditation was complete the sage gifted Urvashi to Indra, and she occupied the pride of place in Indra’s court.

Plot: After thwarting a fatal confrontation between Bhagwan Shri Hanuman and Kuntiputra Arjun, Devrishi Narad, who had created circumstances that had compelled Bhagwan Shri Ram to take up arms against his chief devotee, Hanumanji, now sets about to create similar circumstances between Bhagwan Shri Kishan and Arjun. When Chitrasen inadvertently humiliates Gabal Rishi, Kishanji decides to behead the former with his Sudarshan Chakra. Chitrasen and his wife, Chitrangini, approach Indra Dev, and many others but no one dares to oppose Kishanji. Arjun, too, initially refuses, but changes his mind on Subhadra's insistence, who ensures that Kishanji will not use his Sudarshan Chakra against Arjun. Kshatriya Dharam prohibits a warrior from attacking an unarmed opponent - though this had not prevented Arjun from killing unarmed Dronacharya, Bheesma, and Karan during the Kurkshetra. If the battle between Kishanji and Arjun does take place it will result in all round devastation - and may well see the end of not only Chitrasen but also Arjun himself - for no one can win in any battle against any Avtar of Bhagwan Shri Vishnu.

Genres: ,He's telling me can't come
that's got me thinking he's changing his mind
Says all my yesterdays gine,
don't think tomorrow will be on my site
Then akmost evey day, it tells me I never change things
I don't wanna live like this,
both feet on the ground,
I live wiht the worryfish and drown
He's telling me can't come
That's got me thinking he's losing his mind
Thinks I should live in a world
Where are the fools and the horses recide
Then almost every way
It tells me I never change things.
I don't wanna live like this
Both feet on the ground
I live with the worryfish and drown.(2X)
And I don't wanna talk like her
My head's in the clouds
