Ahi
[Hindu] In Hindu myth, one of the forms of the serpent-god, also identified with Vritra, whom Indra slew with his thunderbolt, releasing the fructifying waters which Ahi withheld and was guarding.
Ahi
Ahi (Sanskrit) [from the verbal root anh to press together, strangle] A serpent; in the Rig-Veda, the serpent of the sky, also called Vritra, mythologically referred to as the demon of darkness and drought who absorbed the cosmic waters. Indra, god of the sky and rainmaker, battles with Ahi and finally slays him, releasing the waters across the land.
Ahi is likewise a name of the sun; also of Rahu, the ascending node of the moon and the daitya (demon) who periodically "swallows" (eclipses) the sun and moon.
