 In the Vedas, "Indra" strikes with "vajra", but in the Avesta "vazra" is Mithra's weapon.Attempts to resolve these objections led to the development of another theory, in which, in addition to the pre-historical divinity of victory, there was also a dragon-slaying hero "Indra".Then, while the Iranians retained the figures independently of one another, the Indians conflated the two (leaving an echo in the character of "Trita Aptya").
