Mahisha

The danava Mahisha tears a mountain from the earth and hurls it at the gods, scattering them like small animals before a lion. He advances on Rudra's chariot and seizes its pole — and Rudra does nothing to stop him, knowing that Mahisha's death belongs to another.

When the gods confront the terrible danger from Mahisha, Skanda arrives flaming like the sun and hurls a spear that severs Mahisha's head — killing the danava who had a boon from Brahma and whom the gods could not touch. In a single day, he subjugates all three worlds.
