Purandara of a thousand eyes, beholding the gods flying in fear and Vritra growing in boldness, became deeply dejected.
In Hindu myth this battle is fought between Indra and Vritra.
Vritra, a three-headed monster in the form of a serpent, steals away the herd and hides it in his cave.
Thou hast opened the cave of Vritra rich in cattle; the fetters of the streams thou hast burnt asunder.
The Arians in Iran also are acquainted with the slaying of Vritra.
