Dilipa
One day, Dilipa pleased God so much that he realized how long he had to live. He then left his royal duties to his ministers and spend the rest of his life in devotion and meditation. He performed 100 sacrifices, in which he made golden roads and was even visited by the god Indra. This description is found in the Bhāgavata Purāṇa and the Droṇa Parva of the Mahābhārata , where he is referred to as Khaṭvāṅga

Apala
Rig Veda mentions story of Apala the daughter of Atri who suffered from skin-disease. She was married but her husband had left her. Indra was attracted to her, she chewed Soma plant which was then drunk by Indra from her mouth. To cure her, Indra dragged her through the wide hole of his chariot, the narrower hole of the cart, and the small hole of the yoke, and she cast off three skins.
- The first skin became a hedgehog,
- the second an alligator, and
- the third a chameleon.
