Vritra
In the
early Vedic religion
, Vritra (
Sanskrit
: वृत्र (
Devanāgarī
) or (
IAST
)) "the enveloper", was an
Asura
and also a
serpent
or
dragon
, the personification of
drought
and enemy of
Indra
. Vritra was also known in the
Vedas
as Ahi ("snake"), and he is said to have had three heads. The myth involving Vritra evolved over time as Indra's prominence at the head of the
Pantheon
faded and the
Brahmins
sought to glorify
Vishnu
.
