Englishकार्त्तिकेय of a son of Śiva and Pārvatī (popularly regarded as god of war, because he leads the Gaṇas or hosts of Śiva against the demon hosts See 213
to one legend he was son of Śiva without the intervention of Pārvatī, the generative energy of Śiva being cast into the fire and then received by the Ganges, whence he is sometimes described as son of Agni and Gaṅgā
when born he was fostered by the six Kṛttikās q.v., and these offering their six breasts to the child he became six-headed
he is also called Kumāra, Skanda, and Subrahmaṇya
his Kārttikeya may be derived from his foster mothers or from the month Kārttika as the best for warfare: in the Mṛcch. and elsewhere he is regarded as presiding over thieves),
