महाभारत युद्ध से पहले जब अर्जुन दिव्यास्त्र प्राप्त करने स्वर्ग गए तो वहां अप्सरा उर्वशी उन पर मोहित हो गयी। अर्जुन ने जब उन्हें अपनी माता के समान बताया तो यह सुनकर उर्वशी क्रोधित हो गयी और अर्जुन को श्राप दे डाला कि तुम नपुंसक की भांति बात कर रहे हो, इसलिए तुम नपुंसक हो जाओगे और तुम्हें स्त्रियों के बीच नर्तक बनकर रहना पड़ेगा। व्याकुल होकर जब ये बात अर्जुन ने देवराज इन्द्र को बताई तो उन्होनें उर्वशी को समझाकर इस श्राप की अवधि एक साल करा दी क्योंकि श्राप वापस नहीं हो पाता। तब इन्द्र ने अर्जुन को कहा कि ये श्राप तुम्हारे अज्ञात वास के दौरान तुम्हारे बहुत काम आएगा। तुम्हें कोई पहचान नहीं पाएगा। इसी श्राप के कारण पाण्डवों के अज्ञातवास का एक वर्ष अर्जुन ने नर्तकी बृहन्नला के रूप में बिताया।  Urvashi’s Curse to Arjuna Before the Kurukshetra war Arjuna visited Alkapuri to seek divine weapons from Gods to prepare for the inevitable war. There he met Apsara Urvashi, who got infatuated with him and made advances towards him. Arjuna however, stopped her saying he considers Urvashi like his mother and cannot respond to her advances. Hearing this Urvashi got angry and cursed Arjuna to become a neuter and live among women as a dancer.  When Arjuna told Indra about this curse, Indra convinced Urvashi to reduce the period of her curse to one year, so that it can help Arjuna to liveing in disguise during their one year of incognito period.  Because of this curse Arjuna lived in Matsya kingdom as Brihannala during their one year of Agyatvas.    Learn more about your ad choices.
