In this way when Vritra entered into the body of Indra he extended himself and stayed in the bodies of all living entities and he stays in the form of hunger and keeps on troubling them and in this way because Vritra is staying in the belly of human being, and that hunger itself is Vritraha. He is called: brathravya and those who understand this, they will conquer hunger certainly. That’s what Vedas offer benefits.

vritraha pravishath udaram vy vritaha shuth khalu vai manushyasya brathravyo ya ya evam vedahanthi kshudam brathavyam In this way because accepting 3 times, the valor of Vritra through Indra, Vsnu is called Tridatu.

In this way because accepting 3 times, the valor of Vritra through Indra, Vsnu is called Tridatu.  

Sruthi itself defines this. Also the special ingredient called purodasa which is offered to Indra and Vsnu, therefore also it is called trudatu uktahaa vith tridathu.In this episode, the main cause of Indra’s valor is Visnu himself. It is openly described.

Keno Upanishad explains that the parakrama or valor of all the devathas, the bhagvatha himself is responsible for it. We can recollect this. Mostly all the victories of Indra, Indra’s valor, Indra’s glorification all these suktas are basically glorifying the lord who is residing in the devathas. The Vedas are glorifying paramatma or bhagavan who is the inner dwelling soul of Indra. That’s how it should be taken, and for this there is ample evidence indrasya yajna yajja satha In the Vsnu Sukta, part of Rk Samhita Sri Sayana Acarya he gives Taitreya Samhita as the example: the Rk Bhaga is 1.22.19

== Some Explanation or Esoteric Meaning ==

vratra ahim parishaya maranaha he is lying facing against flowing water. That means life is a continuous flow and no one can stop it. The community life is one kind and the individual life is another kind of flow: bhu, bhuva, suvaha. The 7 vyaharthris they represent the elevation of one’s consciousness. Therefore sapta sindhus they represent the consciousness of the 7 planets of human existence. So therefore this indicates the flow of consciousness in the human existence. We will describe in a different volume on this subject matter. Water is the ingredient that keeps things green, without water there is drought. Similarly in the personality of human beings, if the flow of life or the sapta sindus stop, then there is a drought of spiritual existence, then every aspect of human beings, the emotions, intellectual capacity, friendship, values, relationships, it gives rise to drought like situation. In this way the flow of ruthu or the season is to not to stop is the nature of this world that is the desire of the lord. ruthum ruthaya pavathe and specially those who are on the path of ruju marga, it always flows in a way pleasing and favorable to them and to sleep and  stop that flow of water is the main work of Vritrasura. As we described previously panis are the robbers of spiritual knowledge of God. But Vritra is the one who stops the flow of life. He is the one who puts obstacle for human beings to achieve higher realms of life and that gives him happiness. In the water there is a principle of svara-loka and agni deva was the one who killed Dasyus and he released this planet and therefore there is connection between water and paramapada.

the water flow from river which are continuously flowing for reaching the ultimate destination: ocean, then the flow between sky of ocean and purify the entire existence. One who is transcendentally situated just like Vajri Indra he fulfills everyone’s desire from freeing from  Vritra imprisonment. So similarly let the situation of the water flow, let it protect me or let it flow continuously.

The river which is flowing from the ocean, there is one very interesting thing, in earthly planet we see river flowing towards ocean. But here rivers are being born from the ocean (samudra is always superior and it is also salilasya madhyath) this one is symbolic and there is no doubt about it because if you just try to get the meaning, this sukta doesn’t give any explanation or meaning, but in the personality of human being, to recognize or revitalize the consciousness which is dormant, and when it is re-awakened, then most of the time, it is flowing outwards. In this way life’s transaction goes on. So this one is the rain coming from space and from that perspective, the internal thing is explained. In the future suktas it is explained that this transcendental river is born in devaloka and it flows uninterruptedly and then it re-appears svayam jaha and this river is flowing only for the ocean and Varuna is called the master and he is always watching the satya and unrutha: the truth and falsity. Such daivi descriptions are there. Samudra has been defined by Yaska Niruktha 12.10 has one of the sixteen meanings of antariksha is samudravanthi aspath apaha samudra samabhidravanthi enam apaha sa vodanthe asmin bhutani samudako bhavathi samono uthyathi va that means water is created and everything is flowing towards water. Every living entity is happy then water enters there and water is making everything wet and this one the ocean that is described here is different from the oceans of the earthly planet. Therefore one of the most important work of Vritra is to stop water flow and that means to stop flow of life. That’s symbolic meaning and therefore to control him and restrict him, that’s the main duty of the devathas or Indra specifically. In this work, the Marut devathas helped Indra. This is explained in Aitreya Brahamana 3.20 similarly in many places the Vedas glorify this. The help of Vsnu is described in previous verses and many devathas have invested their energies in Indra and that’s what is explained
