I suspect if either were pulled after their punishment, they would certainly recognize the errors in their ways.
The story of Vaya and Vijaya is interesting. [ He settled, slightly, and his timbre takes on something more like a storyteller, used to telling these sorts of things.
Professorial, even. ]
Jaya and Vijaya were gatekeeprs of Vishnu. They made the mistake of insulting the Four Kumaras -- by denying them entrance. For the insult, the two were to be punished. Vishnu told them they could live seven lives as normal mortals, or three lives as his enemy. They chose the three, thinking it would be shorter.
But during these lives, they were grand enemies of their own god. They railed against the Devas, started wars, insulted them, and were killed by them. They lived what was likely far longer than the normal lives would allow. Hiranyakashipu, one of the lives, ruled for over a hundred and seven million years, according to myth.
