Alambhusha

In Hindu mythology, a celestial woman
who was the daughter of the sage
Kashyapa. As with many of the celestial
women, she was often sent by Indra,
the king of the gods, to seduce sages
whose spiritual merit was great enough
to pose a threat to Indra’s lordship. The
assumption behind this is that celibacy
builds spiritual power, through which
one can become a rival to the gods
themselves. Sexual activity quickly
drains this accumulated power,
although the release of such power usually has positive consequences.
Alambhusha is best known for her dalliance with the sage Dadhichi, by
whom she had a son named Saraswat.
