Urvashi is an Apsara in the court of Indra. Once, the primordial twin sages Nara and Naryana were performing a particularly severe penance. As was his wont, Indra feared for his crown and sent his divine dancers, the Apsaras, to disrupt this penance. Much angered, the sages struck their thighs, and from thence was born Urvashi, who was more beautiful than the other Apsaras. (In Sanskrit, Uru means 'thigh'). Seeing her divine beauty, the other dancers ran away in shame. Indra apologized for his effrontery and the sages pardoned him. They also sent Urvashi to be a dancer in his court. This story is told in more detail in 'Birth of Urvashi'.

I go this, now you all know the character in SP is to disrupt the Tara's family. The name is very significant to the meaning.😆
