Pramlocha

In the Mahabharata, Pramlocha was an apsara (beautiful, ravishing female spirit of the clouds and waters, unparalleled in mastery over nritya (classical dancing), residing and performing for the Gods in svarga. She was sent by Indra to disturb, and distract Sage (Rishi) Kundu who was indulged in penance on the banks of the river Gomti, by seducing him. She was successful in enticing the sage, thus making him lose control over his senses and butchering his penance. It is said that she and the rishi were making relationship together continuously for 907 years. Kundu was, however, under the illusion that they were together for one day only.
