Skanda Is Born and Terrorizes the WorldsCh. 511
On the first lunar day, the energy of Agni's fallen semen gives birth to Skanda — a child with six heads, twelve eyes, and twelve arms. He seizes a giant bow, roars so terribly that the three worlds tremble, grabs the nagas Chitra and Airavata, shatters Mount Krouncha with arrows, and hurls his spear at Mount Shveta, terrifying all beings into seeking refuge with him.
