In Mahabharata, even though an Apsara cursed Arjun to be impotent, every woman wants such a man

Urvashi was fascinated by Arjun’s masculinity

Arjuna, who had come to Indralok to acquire weapons, kept trying to please Indra. One day Indra told Arjuna that along with learning weapons, he/she should also learn dance. On Indra’s orders, Arjuna started watching Apsaras dancing to learn the nuances of dance. Seeing this, one of the Apsaras, Urvashi, felt that Arjuna liked her. So she told Arjuna that she was fascinated by his/her beauty and masculinity. She even proposed marriage to him/her.

Cursed Arjun for his/her refusal

Arjun was shocked to hear Urvashi’s words and as he/she moved away, he/she said, ‘Indradev is like my father, so being his/her lover, you are like my mother, no man can talk like this to a woman like his/her mother. You have made a mistake. I have never looked at you with lustful eyes.’

Urvashi felt insulted when she heard Arjuna calling her ‘Mata’. She felt that Arjuna was proud of his/her manliness. Hence, Urvashi cursed him/her that this manliness will leave him/her and he/she will become impotent forever.

Curse became a boon for Arjun

Arjuna told Indra the story of the curse given by Urvashi. Then Indra said that I cannot completely change the curse given by Urvashi but I can do this much for you that you will become impotent in any one year of your life and you can choose this one year as per your wish. This curse will work like a boon for you.

During his/her one year exile in Matsya Desh, Arjuna’s curse from Urvashi proved to be a boon. Arjuna disguised himself as a eunuch and taught dance and music to King Virat’s daughter Uttara. Exactly one year later, Arjuna regained his/her lost manhood.

Everybody likes men who live within limits

Be it Lord Shri Ram or Arjun, women always like men who live within limits. By asking Arjun to learn dance, Indra had put them to a test, and Arjun passed it. Similarly, even in today’s times, girls like a true boy who does not get attracted to anyone without reason. Rather, he/she takes decisions by staying within his/her limits.

Beauty doesn’t matter

Arjuna proved in his/her test that physical beauty does not matter to him/her. his/her mind did not wander for a moment on Urvashi’s proposal. he/she remained focused on the purpose for which he/she had come to Indralok. Every girl wants that her partner should not even look at anyone else. And, this quality is seen very well in Arjuna.

These days you rarely find such men

In Kaliyug, if a boy finds the most beautiful girl in the world, he/she will probably accept her without thinking anything. Even if she is married. But in Mahabharata, every woman would be proud of Arjun after knowing the way he/she rejected Urvashi. Also, they would wish that they too get a similar partner.
