EPISODIUM
On being provoked by Arunasur's army, Kartikey becomes compassionate about Arunasur's mother. He promises Arunasur to revive his mother, and ends the war with him. Lord Brahma and the rishis worry on learning about the same. Kartikey urges Mahadev to revive Arunasur's mother, but he refuses. Kartikey vents his anger on Mahadev and Nandi for the same. Parvati berates Kartikey for his behaviour. Mahadev finds it difficult to revive Arunasur's mother on thinking about its bad consequences.
