Thra\u0113taona’s name (meaning “third grandson of the waters”) indicates that A\u017ei Dah\u0101ka, like V\u1e5btra, was seen as a blocker of waters and cause of drought. This same story is alluded to in the Younger Avesta, in which the hero Thra\u0113taona, the son of \u0100thbya, slays the three-headed dragon A\u017ei Dah\u0101ka and takes his two beautiful wives as spoils.
