=== ऐलस्य विलापः ॥ Aila's Lament ===
When Urvashi abandoned Pururava and left, he wept aloud and followed her naked like a madman crying; asking her to stop and not run away.

Pururava confesses that his understanding was clouded by lust so much so that his passing lifetime went unnoticed and made him, an emperor, a plaything of a woman.<ref name=":1" />
