తర్వాత ఊర్వశి అతని వద్దకు వెళ్లి దీర్ఘకాలానంతరం అతనిని భర్తగా చేసుకుంది; శాపానుభవం ముగిసినపుడు ఊర్వశికి బుధసుతునితో మళ్లీ సంగమం కలిగింది.

FAQs
In Purāṇic genealogy, Budha (Mercury) is the father of Purūravas; thus “Budha-sūnu” refers to King Purūravas.
It marks a reunion: Urvaśī accepts Purūravas as her husband after a long separation, specifically when the period of a curse’s effect has ended.
The verse highlights the idea of time-bound consequences (a curse that must be undergone) and restoration after the completion of karmic or fated conditions.
