 The Primordial Light?
The cause of Indra's troubles was his killing of the son of a Prajapati, one Trisiras, by striking him with a thunderbolt.
Indra got out of his predicament by having the "heads" of the dead Trisiras cut off; when this was done various "birds" in great numbers, came out of his head and the "fever left his body" (79).
The name Trisiras means "the three headed one" and the heads "were like the sun, the moon, and fire" (80).

 SOLARIA BINARIA: PART TWO: DESTRUCTION OF THE SOLAR BINARY: CHAPTER FOURTEEN: THE GOLDEN AGE AND NOVA OF SUPER SATURN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
That Jupiter was a prime element in the nova and subsequent events is evidenced in many of the same places; Ea, the Akkadian Saturn, reproaches Enlil, or Jupiter, for having caused the sky-waters to fall (Mason, p77).
Trisiras, a son of Prajapati and a saintly Saturn figure, was a three headed god with heads resembling the Sun, the Moon and the fire, which we interpret respectively as Saturn itself, the celestial crescent and the electric arc.
Indra (a Hindu Jupiter) slew Trisiras with a thunderbolt, whereupon Trisiras' three heads shone with brilliant energy until they were cut off, and then flocks of birds flew out of them and his fever left his body.

In other words, I am comfortable in separating Agastya from Siwa Guru but it does not follow that the two were necessarily perceived as wholly distinct, as the typology would suggest.
Many would be happier to describe Trisiras as Trimurti, thereby reading the image differently and creating another type.
Or take, as another example, my dividing the images into two groups: one made up of isolated sculptures and one made up of those, which are part of a group.

As testimony to his drunken bullying and cruelty, for example, is the story of Trisiras, a peaceful three-headed ascetic who spent his entire life sitting in contemplation.
With one head he studied the sacred texts, with another he ate, and with another he observed all that was going on in the world.
Indra tried severing Trisiras’ three heads, only to release a flurry of doves that flew to all corners of the earth, as if to suggests violence, no matter how much we venerate it, can never truly kill the idea of peace.

 ! Assembly of The Elder Troth - Article - Thor - Lord of the Senses - by Rurik Grimnisson !
According to Shri Aurobindo 11: “Indra is the awakened mind or the illumined mind, who in the mythology appears as the lord of the heavens and exists in the body as the Lord of the senses, one who has attained control over his senses.
Vrata [Vitra, Trisiras] the snake demon, whom he slays in order to release the waters 12 for the people of earth, is the dark mentality, the mass of negative and ignorant consciousness which hides all the cows (the rays of Truth 13) in the caves of Panis or sense-driven life.”
In another Rig-Veda reference it says the Panis live beyond the Rasa River,14 the demarcation between the god’s world and that of the demons.

The Asuras, with their chief Hiranyakasipu at their head, then repaired to their sister, the mother of Viswarupa, and solicited a boon from her, saying,--The son Viswarupa by Tashtri, otherwise called Trisiras, is now the priest of the deities.
It behoveth thee not to act in this way.--Viswarupa, thus solicited by his mother, thought that he should not disobey her words, and as the consequence of that reflection he went over to the side of Hiranyakasipu, after having paid proper respects to his mother.
King Hiranyakasipu, upon the arrival of Trisiras, dismissed his old Hotri, viz., Vasishtha, the son of Brahma, and appointed Trisiras to that office.

 New Trends in the Interpretation of the Vedas By Thaneswar Sarmah
The author emphasizes the fixation of date of Devapi, whom he claims to be historically connected with Santanu, taking the Kali Era into account.
There are some papers like Indra and Trisiras, the Rbhus in the Vedas, Saranyu and Vivasvat, etc., which, according to him, are mythical accounts.
But his reconstruction of the lives of Dadhyanc, Ucathya, Samvarta, Trita, Subandhu and his brothers, King Tryaruna appears to be convincing these men, he says, actually lived on this earth.
