In
Hinduism,
Trisiras is the three-headed son of
Tvashtri. With one head, he ate; with another head, he observed his surroundings; with his last head, he read the
Vedas. He grew so powerful that
Indra became frightened of him, especially after Trisiras scorned the women Indra sent to seduce him. Indra killed him and Trisiras' father, Tvashtri, created
Vritra to gain revenge.
