In this way the flow of ruthu or season has to continue which is the nature of this world.  One who is on the ruju marga (path of righteousness) seeks to go with the flow of spiritual elevation and to lie down and sleep against this flow of water is the important activity of Vrttrasura.  [[Panis (पणिकाः)|Panis]] steal spiritual knowledge, but Vrttra is the one who stops the flow of life. He is the one who lays down obstacles for those who seek to achieve higher realms of life and that gives him happiness.

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 वर्षभो रराद ता आपो देवीरिहमामवन्तु || (Rig. Veda. 7.49.1)</blockquote><blockquote>samudrajyēṣṭhāḥ salilasya madhyātpunānā yantyaniviśamānāḥ | indrō yā vajrī varṣabhō rarāda tā āpō dēvīrihamāmavantu || (Rig. Veda. 7.49.1)</blockquote>Meaning : 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.  

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 weilds 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).  

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.
