AHALYA

RAMAYANA

After a day's stay  in the City of Visaala, Viswaamitra and his  party left for Mithila. On the way,  not for from Mithila, they saw a beautiful aashrama which seemed untenanted. Raama asked Viswaamitra: "Whose is this aashrama with ancient trees? Why does such a beautiful abode stand deserted?"

Viswaamitra replied:

"This aashrama is subject to a curse.  Sage Gautama lived here with his wife Ahalya,spending his days in peace and holy meditation. One day during the Sage's absence from the aashrama ,Indra filled with unholy desire for the beautiful Ahalya, entered it disguised as Gautama and approached the lady with urgent solicitation. She was not deceived by the impersonation., but vain of her beauty and proud that it had won her the love of the lord of the celestial s, she lost her judgement and yielded to his desire.

"When the sin had been sinned, realizing its heinousness and the and the fierce spiritual energy of her betrayed husband, she warned Indra of his terrible peril and begged him to be gone in the instant.

"Indra was fleeing in guilty panic, but unfortunately for him he almost bumped into to the rishi who was returning from his ablutions, clad in wet garments and radiating spiritual lust re. Pretense was hopeless before that-all seeing wisdom and Indra bowed in abject supplication, and threw himself on the mercy of the rishi. The sage looked at him with wrath and  loathing and cursed him.

What ever action a great man performs, common men follow. And whatever standards be sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues.

3-22

O son of Partha there is no work prescribed for Me within all the three planetary systems. Nor am I in want of any thing, not have I a need to obtain anything--and yet I am engaged in prescribed duties. 

3-23

For I ever failed to engage in carefully  performing prescribed duties, O Partha, certainly all men would follow My path. 

3-24

If I did not perform prescribed duties, all these worlds would be put to ruination.  I would be the cause of creating unwanted population, and I would thereby destroy the peace of all living beings.
