5.12

ahalyāñca yadā śakro gautamaṃ rūpamāsthitaḥ /
dharṣayāmāsa devendrastadā rūpamahīyata //

“And when Indra, assuming the form of Gautama, violated Ahalyā, then the lord of the gods lost his form. Thereupon his beauty of limb and feature, which was exceedingly captivating, forsook the wicked lord of the gods and went to the Aśvins.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
