To answer this question, we need to understand the story of Arjuna and the apsaras.
In Hindu mythology, apsaras are celestial nymphs or divine dancers who are renowned for their beauty and grace. They are often associated with the court of Indra, the king of gods.
Arjuna, one of the Pandava brothers, was a skilled archer and a great warrior. Due to his valor and righteousness, he was granted a visit to Indraloka, the heavenly abode of Indra. During his stay there, he encountered several apsaras who were captivated by his charm and wanted to marry him.
Out of the given options, the apsara who wanted to marry Arjuna when he was in Indraloka is Urvashi. Urvashi is a prominent apsara in Hindu mythology and she proposed to Arjuna during his stay in Indraloka. However, Arjuna politely declined her proposal as he considered her to be like a mother to him.
Let's go through each option to understand why they are correct or incorrect:
Option A) Urvashi - This option is correct because Urvashi is the apsara who wanted to marry Arjuna when he was in Indraloka.
Option B) Rambha - This option is incorrect because although Rambha is also an apsara, she did not propose to Arjuna in this context.
Option C) Menaka - This option is incorrect because Menaka is another apsara who is known for her relationship with the sage Vishvamitra, and she did not propose to Arjuna.
Option D) Tilottama - This option is incorrect because Tilottama is a celestial nymph who was created by the gods to be the most beautiful woman in the universe, but she did not propose to Arjuna.
The correct answer is A) Urvashi. This option is correct because Urvashi is the apsara who wanted to marry Arjuna when he was in Indraloka.
