 In some versions, though initially deluded by Indra's disguise, Ahalya eventually recognises the impersonator.In the "Skanda Purana", Ahalya smells Indra's celestial fragrance and realises her folly as he embraces and kisses her and "so forth" (probably indicating a sexual act).Threatening Indra with a curse, she compels him to reveal his true form.
