Part of the Hindi epic of the Mahabharata tells of King Kakudmi and his daughter Revati who travel to see the Creator Brahma for advice on which suitor Revati should marry. Although there is no time travel, the king and his daughter do experience a slowed passage of time so that during a short time for them, 27 chatur-yugas, each of which consists of four eras, have passed on Earth.
