Vedic Reference

English

 Vetasu is a name occurring in the singular in two passages
of the Rigveda^1 and once in the plural.^2 It seems that he was
defeated by Indra,  but there is no reason to assume that he
was a demon. Zimmer^3 thinks that the Vetasus were probably
the tribe of which Daśadyu was a member,  and that they
defeated the Tugras. The passages are too obscure to render
any version probable.
