『リグ・ヴェーダ』等に登場する巨大な蛇の怪物、あるいは巨人。
名前は「障碍」「天地(宇宙)を覆う者」という意味を持つ。
神への復讐を企てていた聖仙『カシュヤパ』が、
神に匹敵する生物を授かるために儀式を行い、炎の中から生まれた。
生まれながらにして全ての生物、神を憎んでいる。
その巨体で天から流れる水を塞き止め、太陽を暗黒で覆い地上を飢餓に陥れ、
更に雨を呼ぶ『雲の牛』を捕えて旱魃を引き起こした。
複数の経典で、『インドラ』とのライバルとして描かれている。
『インドラ』との戦いの際には巨大な蛇に変身する。
『インドラ』は一度『ヴリトラ』に飲み込まれるが、『ヴリトラ』があくびをしている間に逃げ出した。
『ヴィシュヌ』の仲介により、『ヴリトラ』は
「木、石、鉄、乾いた物、湿った物の何れによって、昼も夜も神々は私を攻撃することができない」
という条件で『インドラ』と和解した。
『インドラ』は条件の外である聖仙『ダディーチャ』の「骨」から作った武器『ヴァジュラ』で、
昼でも夜でもない夕暮れ時に弱点である口を攻撃し、『ヴリトラ』を殺した。
その際に塞き止められていた水が流れ、『雲の牛』が戻ったことによって大雨が降りそそがれた。
『ヴリトラ』は毎年復活するため、『インドラ』との戦いは毎年行われ続けているとされている。Translation: A gigantic serpentine monster or giant that appears in the Rig Veda and other books. Its name means "obstacle" or "one who covers heaven and earth (the universe). Kasyapa, a holy sage who was plotting revenge against God, performed a ritual to bestow a creature comparable to God, and was born from a flame. He hates all living creatures and God from birth. With his huge body, he blocked the water flowing from the heavens, covered the sun with darkness, starved the earth, and caused a drought by capturing the "cloud cow" that called for rain. In several scriptures, he is depicted as a rival to Indra. When fighting Indra, he transforms into a giant serpent. Indra was once swallowed by Vritra, but escaped while Vritra was yawning. Through the mediation of Vishnu, Vritra made peace with Indra on the condition that "no god can attack me day or night, by wood, stone, iron, dry or wet. "Indra" killed "Vritra" by attacking his weak point, his mouth, at dusk, neither day nor night, with "Vajra," a weapon made from the "bone" of the holy nymph "Dadicha," which was outside the condition. The water that had been blocked at that time flowed, and the return of the "cloud cow" brought heavy rains. Since Vritra returns every year, it is said that the battle against Indra continues to be fought every year.
