Rambhā agreed to the marriage on condition that Vṛtra would not gainsay her in anything. They engaged in amorous plays and Rambhā made the Brahmin drink liquor in large quantities and he became unconscious. Indra took this opportunity and sent his thunderbolt which took away the life of Vṛtra. Instantly Indra became affected with sins such as Brahmahatyā etc. (Padma Purāṇa, Bhūmikhaṇḍa, Chapters 23 and 24).
