¹ Hillebrandt, *Ved. Myth.* iii. 239 ff. Usener (*Götternamen*, p. 206) finds the Danaoi in the Dānava as demons, despite the change of quantity. Implausible is the view that Vṛtra is a creation of the imagination, *vṛtrahan*, as in the Avesta Verethraghna, denoting ‘assault repelling’ (Bartholomae, *Air. Wb.* 1420).
