It is the story of the apasara Urvashi. Urvashi was returning to heaven after completing her task of breaking penance of Vibhandaka rishi by enticing him,leaving her son Rishyasringa with him, just before dawn with the other apsaras, when she was abducted by a demon. Pururava saw this and chased the demon on his chariot and freed Urvashi from his clutches. The brief period their bodies touched changed their lives forever.
