There are these Cosmic spirits wandering freely as and where-ever they want to roam about :
अप्सरा, गंधर्व, यक्ष, पिशाच, दैत्य, दानव, देवता, विद्याधर, मरुद्गण,  
apsarā, gaṃdharva, yakṣa, piśāca, daitya, dānava, devatā, vidyādhara, marudgaṇa, sur, asura, yaksha, rākṣasa, daitya, daanava, ...
The 'natures' associated with Creative Art.
This applies to all kinds of Art, be it literature, poetry, sculpture, dance, drama, music or painting. All equally find a way of expression through the creative instincts and inspirations of the Artist. And all these instincts and inspirations are the spirits that take the Artist for a ride and pay him / her rewards in terms of wealth, name, luxuries, social success and other things of the transient kinds.
You can at once recognize and detect the artist from his / work. As if he / she has put his / her signature on the thing he / she has created and the work carries the same on its face. And its so authentic that you can at once tell / distinguish a fake from the genuine. Again, one who can appreciate this distinction, can also recognize the very spirit that prompted the Artist to create this Signature-Art.
Joys and sorrows, pleasures and pains, agonies and ecstasies,
Amorous, fascinating, platonic, spiritual, haunting, scaring, enduring or momentary, elevating or depressing, stressful or pleasant, degenerating or devastating to complete annihilation, though often inexplicable of Creative Art.

गौतम ऋषि तथा अहल्या / gautama ṛṣi and ahalyā

गौतम ऋषि अहल्या इन्द्र भगवान् तथा श्रीराम 
gautama ṛṣi ahalyā indra and bhagavān śrī-rāma.

--
Who was / is गौतम ऋषि / ? 
Who was / is अहल्या / ? 
Who was / is इन्द्र / indra ? 
Who is / was राम / rāma ? 
गौतम ऋषि  / gautama ṛṣi means purest essence of senses ( पुरुष / puruṣa / जीव / jīva ).
-The higher Consciousness in man. (Self)
अहल्या / ahalyā means the earth (physical body of man) 
not plowed / not-cultivated, pure.
-The lower Consciousness in man.(physical body)
Thus these 2 constitute the man.
इन्द्र / indra is but the Lord of heaven, the fulfilment and pinnacle of all worldly desires, that defiles and seduces the Lower Consciousness of man (अहल्या / ahalyā) and man is cursed by the Higher Consciousness (गौतम ऋषि  / gautama ṛṣi ) in himself, to become 'stone', - insensitive. But in His Kindness The Higher Consciousness also blesses  the Lower Consciousness of man, that she will be freed from this fall and be emancipated by the Divine Consciousness, liberated from this curse and attain Her inherent pristine purity when she is touched by the Holy Feet of Lord भगवान् श्री राम / bhagavān śrī rāma.

The virtual 'Cat-cult'.
(Just a guess...)

सतो हि कलितः सतो हि कुलितः
बभूव सत् तत् अलं सतोलिक: 
कलितः च कुलितः तदेव सत्तत्
इतिलीयाः रोमनगरे च प्रथितः ॥
--
अर्थ :
वही ’सत्’ जो सनातन-धर्म है, विकार और  कुल-परंपरा को प्राप्त होकर ’सतोलिक’ हुआ । इस प्रकार मूल धर्म विलुप्त होकर इटली के रोम नगर में  ’कॅथोलिक’ परंपरा का जन्म हुआ ।
