she was the wife of Sund. And Valmiki
Ramayan, 1/25 she had the strength of 1,000 elephants. Normally Yaksh are not so powerful, but
she had this strength through a Var. First Suketu was childless, so he did
severe Tap to get a child. Pleased with him Brahmaa Jee gave him a daughter with
1,000 elephants' strength. He did not give him a son. When she grew up, her
father married her to Jambhaasur's son Sund. Later she gave birth to a son named
Mareech who became a Raakshas because of a Shaap. When Sund was killed by
Agastya Muni' Shaap, Taadakaa, along with her son Maareech, started eliminating
Muni. Seeing this Agastya Jee first cursed Maareech to be Raakshas and then to
Taadakaa to be a monster-like and a man-eater. So because being angry with

was living. She was killed by Raam when He was taken by Vishwaamitra to protect

may ask your death by something you don't fear." Thinking something he asked him
his death by the hands of a 6-day old son of Shiv Jee. He thought he could handle him.
--When his tyranny increased, Devtaa went to Brahmaa Jee for relief. Brahmaa Jee
said - "He cannot be killed by anybody except Shiv and Paarvatee's son." So
Satee took birth as Paarvatee, Paarvatee did Tapasyaa to get Shiv Jee, Indra
sent Kaam Dev to incline him to marry Paarvatee, Shiv burnt Kaam Dev, Shiv got
pleased with Paarvatee's Tap and married her. Later they had a child Kaartikeya

this Shaap to him because Pareekshit put a dead snake in his father's neck when Pareekshit went there to ask
for some water and Maharshi did not know that the king was there. He was in meditation.
--Because of this incident Pareekshit's son Janamejaya did a Sarp Yagya, in which he called all snakes to burn,
so that he could take revenge from Takshak of killing of his father. Takshak coiled around Indra's throne to
save himself, but because of the effect of Mantra, Indra's throne also started falling in that Yagya. Then
Aasteek Muni came and stopped that Yagya.

touching her, one's body becomes purified. All diseases are removed by praying to her. Fear of death is destroyed
by watering her. Just by planting or transplanting her, one achieves realization of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead. If someone offers her leaves at the lotus feet of Krishn, Tulasee will award liberation and devotion
to Lord Krishn." (SKP)
--The Vaayu Puraan states that "The Supreme Lord Hari does not accept
anyone's worship without Tulasee." The poet Chandrashekhar says that Krishn does
not care for even one of fifty-six offerings or thirty-six curries (Chhappan
Bhog Chhattees Vyanjan) if they are offered without a Tulasee leaf." All the
places of pilgrimage on this planet and in the millions of universes, take
shelter in a Tulasee leaf." (PP) "Krishn who is very affectionate toward His

palm-full water." (CT)

the nephew (sister's son) of Daitya, even then when Dev Guru Brihaspati Jee left
Devtaa after getting insulted from Indra, Indra appointed only Vishwaroop as
their Purohit and for the same reason, when Indra caught him offering Aahuti for
Daitya, he killed him. Twashtaa got very angry at the killing of his son
Vishwaroop and produced a Krityaa named Vritraasur to kill Indra. Indra had to
beg Rishi Dadheechi for his bones to make a Vajra and then only he could kill Vritraasur.
--Vishwaroop was appointed Devtaa's Purohit after their Guru Brihaspati became angry with
Indra at Brahmaa's recommendation. Indra killed him because he use to give Aahuti to Asur also as his mother
was from Asur family. So Twashtaa produced a Krityaa to kill Indra.
--MBH, 5-Udyog Parv, 9-10 says that he had three heads. His three heads
resembled the Sun, the Moon and the Fire. He read Ved from one mouth, drank wine

--He was a friend of Krishn. He was very proud of his Nir-Gun Gyaan. Krishn thought "let me send
him to Gopee in Gokul then only he will know what is Gyaan and what is Bhakti", so He sent him to Gokul to teach
Nir-Gun Brahm Gyaan to Gopee. But Gopee taught him so much Sa-Gun Gyaan that he became the follower of Sa-Gun form
of Bhagavaan and forgot his own Nir-Gun Brahm Gyaan.

just before leaving for His own Dhaam.

Bhaagvat Puraan, 11/4 "Daksh Prajaapati's one
daughter's name was Moorti. She was married to Dharm. She gave birth to Nar and Naaraayan. They delivered the
knowledge of Karm Yog which in reality is to release from Karm bondage and to attain the Nish-Karm
(see Nish) state. They themselves also did the same types of
Karm and did an intensive Tap. (They are still in Badrik Aashram - present Badree Naath Jee). "They want
to take my Lok", thinking thus Indra sent Kaam Dev to disturb their Tap. Kaam Dev did not know
their powers and glory, so he started disturbing them. They knew that Indra has sent him to disturb their Tap, so
they said to Kaam Dev smilingly - "Be our guest and stay here." Kaam Dev got very embarrassed hearing
these words and prayed them. Then they showed him many beautiful women created through their Yog
and they all were serving Bhagavaan. Seeing those beautiful women Indra's servants got so surprised and considered
their own beauty nothing in comparison to theirs. They got attracted to them because of the divine smell of their
bodies. Then Bhagavaan said smiling - "You choose any one of them according to your desire, she will be the
beauty of your Swarg Lok." Indra's servant greeted them and obeyed them. They took Urvashee to Indra Lok
and described the powers and glory of Bhagavaan Nar Naaraayan to Indra. Hearing that Indra got surprised and frightened too.
--Urvashee lived with Puruavaa and had six sons from him. [Agni Puraan, 26] says that she lived with him for 59 years. She had 8 sons from Pururavaa - (1) Aayu,
(2) Dridhaayu, (3) Ashwaayu, (4) Dhanaayu, (5) Dhritimaan, (6) Vasu, (7) Divijaat, and (8) Shataayu. She heard
about the beauty of Pururavaa, so she went on Prithvi and lived with him. King Pururavaa got a Var that he would
never be separated from her. Also in scripture, Pururavaa represents the Sun and Urvashee the morning mist.
--Her name is mentioned in Rig Ved and Shatpath Braahman.

Once Ushaa saw Shiv Paarvatee enjoying themselves, so she also desired for her husband. Paarvatee assured her
that she would also have her husband soon. On asking "who and when" she said - "Whoever will
copulate with you in dream on Vaishaakh Shukla Dwaadashee, he will be your husband." It proved true. She
saw a man in her dream and got love-stricken for him. Her friend Chitralekhaa (Baanaasur's minister Kubhaand's
daughter) drew sketches of many boys and at last drew Krishn, Pradyumn and Aniruddh sketches. Ushaa recognized
Aniruddh. She brought him to Ushaa and kept him in her palace for a few days. Later Krishn and Pradyumn came
to get him released, fought with Shiv who was the guard of Baanaasur's city, and took her after marrying her to
Aniruddh. [Agni Puraan, 5] also confirms this - "One day
Shiv and Paarvatee were enjoying on Kailaash Parvat. Seeing them Ushaa also desired for a husband. Paarvatee Jee
understood her feelings and said to her - "Whoever man will come in your dream on the 12th day of Vaishaakh

commit suicide after Hiranyakshyap went for Tap and finding this opportunity
Indra attacked his capital and wanted to abduct and kill all of the habitants
there. Kayaadhu was pregnant so when she wanted to commit suicide, Naarad Jee
stopped her doing so, saying that she should not do so because she was going to
give birth to a great Bhakt son. He took her to his Aashram and told her many

he asked Him to show him His Vishwa Roop, which He did; and then He asked him to
ask for Var. He said - "I should get water wherever I wish for."
"So be it" and He went away. Once he wished for water, so he saw a
hunter who offered him water through his urinary organ, but the Rishi didn't
accept it. Then Krishn arranged Uttank clouds to rain water for him. Till today
they rain savory water for him.
