Rambha is featured in the kavya (poem) Śṛṅgārajñānanirṇaya (lit. 'distinction between love and knowledge'), where she is sent to seduce a young sage named Shuka but instead has a conversation with him. She uses an erotic tone to convince Shuka that a man's life is fruitless without love, to which he counters that a man's life is useless if he is unable to attain the highest wisdom.
