Ahalya
and Indra
Brahma crafts Ahalya as the most beautiful woman
and places her in the care of Gautama until she reaches puberty. When that time
arrives, the sage returns Ahalya to Brahma, who, impressed by Gautama's sexual restraint
and asceticism, bestows her upon him.
Indra becomes enamoured by Ahalya's beauty, learns
of her husband's absence and comes to the ashram disguised as Gautama to
request sexual intercourse with her, praising her as a shapely and slim-waisted
woman. She sees through his disguise, but consents owing to her
"curiosity". Having satiated his lust, Ahalya requests that Indra,
her "lover" and the "best of gods", flee and protect them
from Gautama's wrath. Gautama learns of
Indra's deception through his supernatural powers and returns to the ashram.
Indra was growing more and more restless, waiting
for his moment to make love to the woman he lusted after more than any other.
Since the god Brahma had created Ahalya, Indra, who was also a god, felt
entitled to her. She noticed his passes and found them to be a bit flattering.
She had been entertaining his affections without her husband Gautama knowing of
course. Indra would crow like a rooster in the morning to wake Gautama and he
would leave and do his daily duties. This day, however, would end differently
for these two adulterers.
Gautama returned home a bit early to check on
something, a decision he would question for years. He heard some strange sounds
and ran, immediately thinking Ahalya was in trouble. Instead, he found her in
bed with Indra, disguised as Gautama. Ahalya would only sleep with Indra when
he was disguised as Gautama as a way to ease her guilt a little about the
affair. Another reason was to provide an easy out for her and Indra if needed.
All three people were completely flabbergasted and stared at one another in
shock for a few moments.
Ahalya tried reason with her husband. “Gautama?
Wait, I am confused,” she said with a puzzled expression on her face.
Meanwhile, Indra tried to leave quietly out the back. “Honey, how have you
created a double of yourself? That is not a very nice trick to play on your
wife, is it?” Gautama stared straight at her in a deafening silence. She
continued, “I was so excited when you arrived home so soon after leaving but it
isn’t you, is it? What has happened here? Why won’t you speak to me?” Gautama
shook his head in disbelief.
“You dare insult me by lying to me,” he said in a
scathing voice. “I have done nothing but be a loyal husband and guardian to you
for your life. What have I done to deserve such great disloyalty from you?” His
voice was so loud Ahalya trembled and Indra, who had taken the form of a cat,
could not move. Just as Indra was about to exit the room Gautama bellowed, “You
will pay for your insolence! Since you yearn for my wife’s fruit so wildly you
won’t mind being covered in them will you?” In an instant Indra was covered
with female organs. Ahalya screamed in terror, “No!” as Indra ran away in
shame. “Don’t leave me, Indra!” she shrieked.
“Now you, my beautiful wife,” Gautama threatened.
“Wait,” cried Ahalya. “I did not mean to hurt you. I made you so happy and I
can continue to. Please do not cause me shame. I never wanted to hurt you. I
love you and am your wife!” Gautama was not affected by his wife’s pleas. He
looked at her and snarled, “You are no longer my wife!” Ahalya screamed as her
husband turned her into stone. He looked around his house and noticed that many
creatures had seen the events of this terrible morning. He fiercely glared at
all of them. The reality of his actions began to flood his mind as he gasped,
“The spectacle is finished.”

Author’s note: This story from the Ramayana
exemplifies what adultery can do to a couple. I made a few changes to the story
to fit the music a bit better and make for a more dramatic storytelling. In my
retelling Indra and Ahalya have been having an affair. In the original story
according to Narayan’s version, Ahalya was unaware that Indra disguised himself
as Gautama to sleep with her. Indra convinced her that he was her husband. I
embellished the part claiming Ahalya wanted Indra to disguise himself as
Gautama to ease her mind about the affair. Most of the conversation was not
included in the original either. Narayan has Ahalya plead with Gautama to not
turn her into stone. She explains she was unaware of Indra’s presence. In my
version Gautama is unaffected by her plea but in the original he changed his
mind a bit; he decided to let her be turned back into human by Rama in the
future. Finally I added the creatures watching on as the day’s events unfold to
draw a parallel to the opera; they are not present in the original. I wanted to
give to reader the impression that Gautama had lost his mind in a jealous rage
and did some things that he lived to regret later in his life. This also is not
alluded to in the original story.
Connection to the opera: Pagliacci is a verismo
opera by the Italian composer Ruggero Leoncavallo. Verismo means the opera is
perhaps a bit more violent and uses characters who exhibit everyday human
attributes, jealousy in this case. Canio is the leader of a traveling acting
troupe. He is madly in love with his wife Nedda who also belongs to this acting
troupe. Nedda does not share the same love for Canio as he does for her and is
having an affair with Silvio. I liken Gautama to Canio. Both characters love
their wives and are stricken by blind rage when they confront them. Nedda and
Ahalya are similar in that they are both beautiful women loved by men who react
violently upon learning of their affairs. Silvio like Indra is a bit
apprehensive when it comes to confronting his lover’s husband. The clip
provided is the final few minutes of the opera. During a performance of the
comedy troupe, Canio barges on stage in a drunken rage and begins to question
Nedda about her affair. At the beginning of the clip Nedda tries to remain in
character for the live performance and snap Canio out of his rage, but she
fails. Canio stabs both his wife and her lover, killing them in a quick moment.
He then utters, “La Commedia è finita!” which translates in English, “The play
is over.”
