Urvashi becomes attracted to him and reaches Arjuna’s residence adorned in beautiful attire.
Detailed explanation-2: -But Arjuna did not have any intentions of making love to Urvashi. Instead, he called her “mother”. Because once Urvashi was the wife of King Pururavas the ancestor of Kuru dynasty. Urvashi felt insulted and cursed Arjuna that he will be a eunuch for the rest of his life.
