The seed split into six children and the children were taken care of by the six Krittikas. The six children were crying very loudly till Goddess Parvati came to see them. She combined them into one child. At her glance the six faced child became calm and his faces unified into one. This child was trained by Shiva, Shakti, Brahma, Saraswati and Laxmi. He then fought Tarkasur and killed him. Once when lord Shiva asked Kartikeya the meaning of Om Kartikeya replied that only if he is given a place higher that Mahadev he would impart this secret. By revealing this hidden secret in Lord Shivas’ ears, much to the delight of Goddess Parvati; young Skanda was lovingly given a place on lord Shivas’ shoulder.
