    Urvasi is a Khandakavya written in 4 parts. Part 1 : King Purooravas meets Urvasi and falls passionately in love with her.Urvasi is the daughter of Mahavishnu (Narayana Rishi) born from his thighs and is a celestial nymph. Part 2: Urvasi also is in love with the king. she enacts the play Palazhimathanam in the durbar of Indra,under Bharathamuni. she is playing role of Lakshmi.When asked whom do you want to marry, instead of saying Mahavishnu, she utters the name Purooravas and Bharathamuni curses her to be born on earth. Part 3: The union of Urvasi and Purooravas on earth brings new impetus to arts,music and dance in the empire of Chandravnsi kings. Aesthetics and literary movements bloom and Urvasi becomes mother of Chandravansi princes. But,Indra sends Menaka and Gandharvas to bring her back and she is taken back by heaven. Part 4:At the end of a prolonged separation and grief Purooravas learns veda and brings Vedic knowledge to earth at the beginning of Threthayuga. He goes back to heaven after several strenuous experiences and austeriies and eternally unites with his love,Urvasi. This is an eternal love story of a human being and a celestial nymph and forms the basis of Suryavansa and Chandravansi lineages of India and Agnivansa born out of that wedlock.
