Pramlocha (Sanskrit: प्रम्लोचा, romanized: Pramlocā) is an apsara in Hindu mythology, described as a beautiful, celestial damsel.
[1] In the Brahma Purana, Pramlocha is asked by Indra, the king of Svarga, to disturb the penance of the rishi Kandu, whose practice scorched the three worlds with its intensity.
Aware of the prowess of the sage, the apsara is anxious, and requests Indra to choose Menaka, Urvashi, or Rambha instead.
She vowed that she would "get him split up by the arrows of Kama":[2] Standing on the banks of the river, only a very short distance from him, that excellent celestial damsel with the sweetness of the cuckoo in her voice began to sing songs merrily.
On hearing the sweet sound of the song the sage was surprised and his mind was afflicted by the arrows of Kāma.
He assumed his youthful form within, bedecked in divine ornaments and handsome attributes due to the power of his penance.
