to him with their request. Viswarupa agreed and he became their Acharya. The Devas became strong once again. Viswarupa’s mother was an Asura woman. So Indra became suspicious of Viswarupa. He feared he might let them down. For this reason Indra killed Viswarupa. On coming to know of his son’s death, Twashta became very angry. He vowed to avenge his son’s death. Twashta performed a yaga and produced from the sacrificial fire a fierce monster called Vritra. He said to the demon: "O Vritra, go and kill Indra this moment." A great battle began between Vritra and Indra. Indra soon became exhausted, and Vritra gained the upper hand. |
