This relationship of Vrttrasura as one who seeks to impede water flow is given in the following Rig Veda mantras<blockquote>समुद्रज्येष्ठाः सलिलस्य मध्यात्पुनाना यन्त्यनिविशमानाः | इन्द्रो या वज्री वृषभो रराद ता आपो देवीरिहमामवन्तु || (Rig. Veda. 7.49.1)</blockquote><blockquote>samudrajyēṣṭhāḥ salilasya madhyātpunānā yantyaniviśamānāḥ | indrō yā vajrī vr̥ṣabhō rarāda tā āpō dēvīrihamāmavantu || (Rig. Veda. 7.49.1)</blockquote>Meaning : The river waters flow continuously, purifying the entire existence on their way to reach the Chief of waters, the Ocean. Oh Indra! the one who wields the Vajra ('''Vajraayudha) to''' free the waters, one who freed the cows, protect me (freed the rivers (by removing the impediment of Vrttra) and freed the cows ('''by removing the impediment of Vala and [[Panis (पणिकाः)|Panis]]).??'''

'''Tvashtra prajapathi HL  B &should we say also ha'''d a son named Vishwarupa. Once the purohit of the devathas: Brihaspati, being angry, left his priestly work and  so the devatas invited Vishwarupa as their priest. Vishwarupa was favorable to the asuras and without the devatas knowledge, he offered havishya (oblations) to the asuras which belonged to devatas.  When Indra came to know about this, he was furious and killed Vishwarupa. Hearing this, Tvashtra was very angry and performed a yajna to get a son who could kill Indra.

While chanting the mantras due to wrong pronunciation the purport changed. Instead of "let there be a son who could kill indra", it became "let there be a son who will be killed by Indra". Instantly, Vritra was born and he grew over the expanse of the universe in circular fashion. Indra with the blessing of Mahavishnu then defeated Vrttra who entered into a truce with Indra.

Samh. Arsheya system 4.5.36.6 and Saraswat System 1.2.4.12.6)</blockquote>Summary :  Vritrasura said allow me to enter into your body. Indra asked him what will you do with me? Will you eat me? Vritra replied that he will become the fire in the stomach, as hunger (jataragni) in human beings.

इ॒दमस्मि॒ तत्ते॒ प्र दास्या॒मीति॒ त्वी (३) इत्य॑ब्रवीत्स॒न्धान्तु सं द॑धावहै॒ त्वामे॒व प्र वि॑शा॒नीति॒ यन्माम्प्र॑वि॒शेः किम्मा॑ भुञ्ज्या॒ इत्य॑ब्रवी॒त्त्वामे॒वेन्धी॑य॒ तव॒ भोगा॑य॒ त्वाम्प्र वि॑शेय॒मित्य॑ब्रवी॒त्तव्वृँ॒त्रः प्रावि॑शदु॒दरं॒ वै वृ॒त्रः ख्षुत्खलु॒ वै म॑नु॒ष्य॑स्य॒ भ्रातृ॑व्यो॒ यः [41] (Tait.

In this way Vritra entered into the body of Indra and the living entities and continues to stay in the form of hunger. He is called as भ्रातृ॑व्यो॒ brathravya (those who understand conquer hunger.

'''Esoteric Meaning''' : It should be noted that Vritra was though killed in historic perspective, was not killed but was given a place in every living entity as hunger. Therefore the disturbance to the living entity is an eternal experience in this world, symbolically, hunger is the sign of dissatisfaction. Similarly, hunger is not just limited to physical hunger but is connected to insatiable wants and desires. Lust and anger are insatiable hungers.

'''you could add here the reigning in the waters by Indra & How V controls the waters'''
