 In the "Uttar Kanda" book of the "Ramayana", the god Brahma explains the meaning of the Sanskrit word "Ahalya" as "one without the reprehension of ugliness", or "one with an impeccable beauty" while telling Indra how he created Ahalya by taking the special beauty of all creation and expressing it in every part of her body.Because some Sanskrit dictionaries translate Ahalya as "unploughed," some recent authors view this as an implicit reference to sexual intercourse and argue that the name refers to a virgin or a motherly figure.This fits the context of the character Ahalya, who is viewed as being in one way or another beyond Indra's reach.
