        [Vishwamitra] retired to the forest to practise ascetic worship of Mahādeva (Shiva). After some time, Shiva, the Lord of Gods, with the bull on his flag, appeared before Vishwamitra and said to him : "O King, why art thou undergoing penance ? What is thy desire ? I will grant thee whatsoever thou askest". Vishwamitra, making obeisance to Shri Mahādeva said to him : "O Great God, if I have found favour with thee, then instruct me in the Upanishads and other branches of learning, teach me also the mysteries and the science of archery. Whatever weapons are known to the danavas, yakshas, asuras, gandharvas and other beings, let them be revealed to me by thy grace." On hearing the request of the king, the Lord of Gods answered, "Be it so" and returned to his abode.

        कृतार्थास्मि सुरश्रेष्ठ गच्छ शीघ्रमितः प्रभो॥
        आत्मानं मां च देवेश सर्वथा रक्ष गौतमात्।
        इन्द्रस्तु प्रहसन् वाक्यमहल्यामिदमब्रवीत्॥
        सुश्रोणि परितुष्टोऽस्मि गमिष्यामि यथागतम्।

        [O Rama, one day, when the sage Gautama had gone to a distant place] Indra, finding the opportunity, assumed the sage's disguise, and said to Ahalya: "O Attractive One, those who are amorous do not wait for the right time. I desire union with thee, O slender waisted one!" O Rama, although Ahalya recognized Indra disguised as her husband, she out of curiosity about the king of gods, made a foolish decision [and yielded to his desire]. Afterwards, having been satisfied, Ahalya addressed Indra saying : "O best among the gods, I am highly satisfied, now depart quickly from here, Lord. O Chief of the gods, save thyself and me from Gautama." Indra laughed and answered : "O Thou of beautiful waist, I am [also] very satisfied;, I will now depart the same way I entered!" Saying this, he sought to leave the hut of Gautama.
