KARTIKEYA

Assurance to Angels

Brihaspati and the other angels came to the forest near Shrikashi and told Indra of the plundering of Heaven by the Rakshasas. Indra and Shachi were greatly pained. Indra left Shachi in the protection of Shastara, the presiding deity of that forest, and went with Brihaspati and the other angels to Bramha. All of them then went to Shiva.

Shiva gave them his assurance - "All of you may for the time being be in the safety of the Kakachala Mountain near the Rajatadri Peak. I will see that Shurapadma is killed by Kartikeya, and remove your troubles." Accordingly all the angels went there.
