Vṛddha-kanyā-carita and Balarāma’s Kurukṣetra Inquiry (वृद्धकन्या-चरितम् / कुरुक्षेत्रफल-प्रश्नः)
प्रलोभनार्थ तस्याथ प्राहिणोत् पाकशासन: । दिव्यामप्सरसं पुण्यां दर्शनीयामलम्बुषाम्,तब इन्द्रने मुनिको लुभानेके लिये एक पवित्र दर्शनीय एवं दिव्य अप्सरा भेजी, जिसका नाम था अलम्बुषा
pralobhanārthaṃ tasyātha prāhiṇot pākaśāsanaḥ | divyām apsarasaṃ puṇyāṃ darśanīyām alambuṣām ||
于是，为了诱惑他，帕迦娑娑那（因陀罗）派遣了天女阿蓝布莎（Alambuṣā）——圣洁而妩媚，令人一见倾心。此事表明，即便尊贵的天神也会以魅惑为计，来试炼一个人自制与决心的坚固。

The verse highlights the ethical theme of temptation as a deliberate test: external allure can be used to unsettle a person’s resolve, so inner discipline and clarity of purpose are crucial for maintaining virtue.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Indra, intending to entice a certain person, sends the celestial nymph Alambuṣā, described as divine, auspicious, and strikingly beautiful.
