Unable to bear the heat, Agni gives the radiance to Ganga. Lord ShivaРІР‚в„ўs hands his fiery seed fire to Agni, who can handle it till the radiance becomes ShivaРІР‚в„ўs offspring. Kartikeya is also known as Shanmukha or God with six faces. When even Ganga couldnРІР‚в„ўt bear the heat, She deposited the fireball into a lake in a forest of reeds. So, He handed over the ball to Goddess Ganga. But even Agni couldnРІР‚в„ўt bear the heat of the energy of Shiva and Parvati.

In the meantime, the other Gods being insecure from Tarakasura, sent Agni, or the God of fire, to get hold of the ball of fire. As they both meditated, a ball of fire emerged out of their cosmic energies. Lord Shiva took her to a cave and asked her to meditate. However, Shiva was not a God who could let injustice prevail. Tarakasura knew that Lord Shiva was an ascetic, and he thought he would not marry or have children. However, it is believed that Lord Murugan manifested for the sole purpose of killing Tarakasura. Hence, he would not have a son without a wife. This is soon after SatiРІР‚в„ўs death, so Tarakasura takes it for granted that Shiva was sad and depressed and would not get remarried. Son of Lord Shiva would only be as strong as Lord Shiva. One Asura named Tarakasura, who Lord Brahma gave a boon that he would only be killed by someone as strong as Lord Shiva.
