Vrthrasura was Chithrakethu in his previous birth and became a great devotee of Vishnu H ewas cursed by Parvati to beborn a asura because he made fun of Siva who had Parvati on his lap. When Tvashta did a yaga to create a son who will kill Indra because Indra had killed his son Visvarupa, which was another story, Vrthra came out of the sacrificial fire and because he was of brahmin origin, being created by Tvashta a brahmin Brahmahaththi dhosha came to Indra and not because he was a devotee of Vishnu. In fact Vishnu Himself advised Indra to get the backbone of Dhadheechi to make vajrayudha o kill Vrthra, not because He was unkind to His devotee but only in orer to release His devotee from his curse of being in a demonical body. This is described in 6th skandha of Bhagavata.
