Who sent Apsara Menaka to distract Sage Vishwamitra? 😳🤔

Sage Vishwamitra was undertaking intense penance to attain the status of a Brahmarishi, which worried the gods, especially Indra—the King of Heaven—who feared losing his throne due to Vishwamitra’s growing power. To break his meditation, Indra sent the celestial Apsara Menaka to seduce him. Menaka succeeded, and Vishwamitra's penance was disturbed, though their union also led to the birth of the famous daughter, Shakuntala. This story highlights the constant tension between divine power and ascetic resolve in Hindu scriptures.
