v2.c76.125
It is therefore, said that the great sage Nārāyaṇa for deceiving the apsarasas, created the most beautiful woman Urvaśī taking the juice of a mango tree. By means of the science of Citra she was endowed with beautiful form and became the best apsarā. The great sage having thus created (the art of) citra, with its rules, made the immovable Viśvakarman apprehend it.
