Name of the play: URVASIYEN SABAM
Playwright: Pammal Sambandha Mudaliar (1923) | Directed by: G. Sreedevi
The armies of Thuruyothanan and Arjunan are getting ready for battle and Arjunan is doing severe penance to attain the 'Paasupathaasthiram' from Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva and Devendra want to test him, so they depute Manmathan, Oorvasi, and Ramba to disturb Arjunan — but they collectively fail. Oorvasi falls in love with the handsome Arjunan.
Mohaasuran is sent in the guise of a pig to kill Arjunan, but Arjunan kills him instead. Lord Shiva then transforms himself into a hunter, fights with Arjunan, finally acknowledges his strength, and grants him the 'Paasupathaasthiram'. Devendran invites Arjunan to 'Devalokam' and requests him to hand over his ring to Oorvasi. Infatuated, Oorvasi tries to entice him — and on failing, curses him.
Arjunan fears he may lose his valour to fight Thuruyothanan. Devendran intervenes and Oorvasi retraces her curse, revealing the 'Devarahasiyam' about how it will only do good. The climax reveals how things always happen for the best.
