Your replied as follows.
Quote
Ahalya was knowing Indra was in disguise and came to enjoy her. In
this intimate matter of husband wife relations the wife can
immediately feel and detect some body not her husband. Indra can be in
disguise but how can he exactly act like Gautama in this act. Every
man has different taste and different style. He will do something like
Indra but not Gautama.

If Ahlya also sought Indra then where was the  need for Indra to come in disguise. Have you thought about it ?Indra was aot a human being like you and me. I believe that the devas do have the capability to disguise. If Ahlya too knowingly abetted the adultery then she would been called a Kultaa or promiscuous woman and she would not have been listed among the Panchakahyas.


2)
Bali's wife Tara did no wrong and that is why she is an honorable lady and included among the Panchakanyas, assuming that she is the Tara mentioned in the Panchakanya stotra. She married Sugriva was as per the custom prevailing at that time. There is no need to give her undue credit saying that she married Sugriva to safeguard the interest of Angada.
