3.2.41.4

3 Now begins the narration of Dharmāraṇya by Vyāsa: there, desiring to see the true nature of the Lord, Dharmadeva entered the middle of the forest, meditated upon Mahādeva, and performed tapas; burned by the flames of fire produced from that tapas, Brahmā and the other gods with their retinues went to Śrī Mahādeva on Kailāsa and praised Mahādeva; then, learning from Rudra's words that there was no cause for fear from Dharma, when all the gods had returned to their own abodes, Indra, becoming suspicious without any reason, with the assent of Bṛhaspati sent the apsaras named Vardhanī upon Urvaśī's advice to cause obstacles to Dharma's tapas; and going near Dharma, she attracted the mind of Dharmarāja with dance accompanied by singing; [and] in connection with the description of the apsaras Vardhanī, the faults in the nature of women are proclaimed. — 109 1
