- Brahma: The sage Tvashta performed a Vedic sacrifice (homa) to create a being capable of killing Indra, the king of the Devas, who had previously killed Tvashta's son Vishwarupa. Due to a chanting error in the ritual, the resulting demon was named Vritra, meaning "Indra's enemy". Brahma is the god associated with creation, and in this narrative, the power derived from the severe penance and sacrifice that led to Vritra's creation was granted through the cosmic laws governed by the Trimurti.
- Vishnu: After Vritrasura was born and defeated Indra, the Devas, including Brahma and Shiva, sought help from Lord Vishnu, the preserver and protector. Vishnu advised them that Vritra could only be killed by a weapon made from the bones of the great sage Dadhichi. Vishnu also suggested a tactical approach: befriend Vritra first, then attack him using a specific weapon that wouldn't violate the conditions of his boons.
- Shiva: Lord Shiva was also present with the other Devas when they approached Vishnu for help against Vritrasura's might. In some scriptures, Asuras are known to be great devotees of Shiva, who is easily pleased by intense devotion and often grants them powerful boons.
Ultimately, Indra followed Vishnu's advice, obtained Dadhichi's bones, and used them to fashion the Vajra (thunderbolt). He then used sea foam, which was neither wet nor dry, as the specific "weapon" to bypass Vritra's protection and finally killed him, with the assistance and blessings of the Goddess and the collective power of the Devas and the Trimurti. Vritrasura, a great devotee of Vishnu in a previous life (King Chitraketu), achieved liberation after his death.
