Notes:
Having annihilated Taraka and other asuras; Skanda (Kartikeya, Kumara, Shanmukha) incurs a curse from Daityaguru Kavya, and is transformed into a snake. Kavya further demands that Skanda must grant wishes of all those who worship Him on Skanda Shashthi tithi. Shiva gets disgruntled with Kavya's behaviour and swallows him. Kavya eulogizes Shiva from within His belly and is finally released; following which, he is known as Shukra (Shukracharya).
Skanda rigorously worships His Father - Shiva, who relieves Him of the curse of being a snake, and Skanda acquires His original form. Skanda beseeches Shiva for Gyanopadesha and receives the same.
