Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Sañjaya on Arjuna’s Indraloka report and the political consequences
Devanagari script
उर्वश्युवाच अनावृताश्च सर्वा: सम देवराजाभिनन्दन । गुरुस्थाने न मां वीर नियोक्तुं त्वमिहाहसि,उर्वशीने कहा--वीर देवराजनन्दन! हम सब अप्सराएँ स्वर्गवासियोंके लिये अनावृत हैं --हमारा किसीके साथ कोई पर्दा नहीं है। अतः तुम मुझे गुरुजनके स्थानपर नियुक्त न करो
Translation
Urvashī said: “O hero, beloved son of the King of the gods! We Apsarases are all unveiled for the dwellers of heaven—there is no veil between us and anyone. Therefore, O mighty one, you should not appoint me here to the place of a venerable teacher.”
