پھر اُروشی اُس کے پاس گئی اور ایک طویل مدت کے بعد اُسے اپنا شوہر بنا لیا؛ اور جب شاپ کا بھوگ پورا ہوا تو اُروشی بُدھ کے بیٹے کے ساتھ پھر یکجا ہو گئی۔

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.
