Translation
After giving up the two lambs, the Gandharvas shone brightly like lightning, thus illuminating the house of Purūravā. Urvaśī then saw her husband returning with the lambs in hand, but he was naked, and therefore she left.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Dropping the two lambs, the Gandharvas shone brightly like lightning, thus illuminating the house of Purūravā. Urvaśī then saw her naked husband returning with the lambs.
Being especially effulgent the Gandharvas lit up the place. Then Urvaśī saw her husband naked. Because he broke the promise, she disappeared.
