Ahalyā Indrāvalokana is one the most controversial episodes in hindu mythology. So I decided to present some facts from the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa regarding the incident
The Rāmāyaṇa, national epic of India and several other South East Asian Countries, is one of the largest ancient epics in world literature. Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa consists of nearly 24,000 verses . Traditionalists call it the Ādi-Kāvya(first poem). It is by far the most influential thing that India has ever produced.
The Mahābhārata , the national epic of India and many South East Asian countries, one of the two major Saṃskṛta epics of ancient India, the other being the Rāmāyaṇa, is the longest epic poem known and has been described as “the longest poem ever written”. Its longest version consists of over 1,00,000 śloka or over 2,00,000 individual verse lines (each śloka is a couplet), and long prose passages. At about 1.8 million words in total, the Mahābhārata is roughly ten times the length of the Iliad and the Odyssey combined, or about four times the length of the Rāmāyaṇa. It is the epitome of Indian Literature.
