अफलस्तु तत श्सक्रो देवान् अग्निपुरोधसः ।
अब्रवीत् त्रस्तवदनः सर्षिसंघान् सचारणान् ॥

Then crest fallen Indra who lost his testicles spoke to Agni and Devas along with the legion of sages and Charanas.

Balakanda
forty ninth Sarga

Viswamitra continued telling the story of Ahalya.

'Then crest fallen Indra who lost his testicles spoke to Agni and Devas along with the legion of sages and Charanas. "Making him angry I have disturbed the penance of the venerable sage. I have done this work for Devas. Because of his anger I have lost my testicles. She became one without a form. Because of the curse the power of the penance was destroyed. Hence Oh best of Suras ! you along with the legions of sages and Charanas should make me one having testicles".

Hearing those words of Indra , the Devas along with Agni and legions of Maruts went to the PitruDevas. "Indra has no testicles. This goat has testicles. The testicles of the goat may be given to Indra. For your pleasure the people offer this to us. The goat even without testicles satisfies you".

Hearing those words of Agni, the Pitru Devas who gathered there gave the testicles of the goat to Indra. Oh Kakustha ! From that time the PitruDevas accepted the offering of goats without testicles and providing benefits for the offerings. Oh Raghava ! from that time Indra is called the "Meshavrushana", the one with testicles of a goat.

Oh Mahateja ! So you must come to the sacred hermitage. You must free Ahalya from her curse. Hearing those words of sage Viswamitra , Rama and Lakshmana entered the hermitage with Viswamitra leading them. Then they saw that lady who is invisible to the people as well as Suras and Asuras, who is literally shining with the brilliance of her own penance. Being invisible she is like Maya. She is like the shining full moon covered by the water laden clouds. She is specially built by the efforts of the creator. Like the Sun's brilliance seen in the water , she was invisible to all the three worlds due to Gautama's curse. With the Darshan of Rama she became free of the curse and became visible.

Rama and Lakshmana then touched her feet. She too remembering Gautama's words touched their feet. She then offered the traditional respects by offering water . Rama and Lakshman too received them as per practice. There was a great rain of flowers. The Gandharvas, Apsarasas joined Devas in heralding the events playing the kettle drums Ahalya who was purified by the power of her penance, who has now joined Gautama
, was worshipped by all Devas saying "good" "good". The great Gautama too worshipped Rama along with Ahalya as per practice and then went on to do his penance.

Rama too having received the worship from venerable Gautama as prescribed , then proceeded to Mithila

Thus ends Sarga forty nine of Balakanda in Valmiki Ramayan
