The fierce battle ended on the 6th day, when Lord Muruga comprehensively defeated Surapadma and his evil forces, relieving the Gods and the people, of his repression. Armed with the mighty Vel (lance), presented to him by his mother Parvati, Muruga led an army of celestial beings against the demon army and fought Surapadma, his henchmen, and their mighty forces. Then Muruga set out on his mission of ridding the universe of evil forces. Vaikasi Visakam that is, the day of Visaka star in the Tamil month of Vaikasi (mid-May to mid-June) is considered the day of the LordвЂ™s incarnation, while all the Krittika star days are held sacred for Muruga worship. Pleased with the service of the angels, the divine couple Shiva and Parvati, named the baby as Karthikeya. As Goddess Parvati very fondly hugged the six young ones together, they all merged into a single form, with six heads. These six divine babies were well taken care of by six angels known as Karthigai Pengal (damsels), who were the personifications of the powerful star Krittika.

The divine forces carried this to the sacred pond, Saravana Poigai, where, the flame transformed into six sparks and six handsome babies emerged out of them. The compassionate Lord Shiva opened his third eye, and a blazing flame emerged out of it. The advent of Muruga became necessary for saving the universe from the atrocities of the mighty demon, Surapadma, who obtained many boons, became quite powerful and started oppressing even the Gods. Skanda Purana, the religious text about the life of the lord, gives a good account of the interesting legend on the birth of Muruga and his exploits.
