Once when Urvashi was attracted to Arjuna, she approaches him in his chambers. Arjuna however rejects her advances stating that she was the muse of his ancestor Pururava, which made her almost like a mother to him.
Enraged by this rejection, Urvashi curses Arjuna – “Since you have disregarded a woman who has come to you of her own accord and at the command of your father, you shall have to pass your time among females unregarded, as a eunuch.”
Little did Arjuna know then that this curse was going to be a blessing in disguise.

I will publish a follow-up post with the entire story of this curse and how it turns out to be a blessing in disguise for Arjuna.
