Karttikeya

Kubera, the lord of the elemental beings

So Taraka, cocksure of himself, commenced to maltreat the gods, stealing Indra’s eight-headed horse, robbing the thousand sea horses of Kubera, the hunchbacked king of the elemental spirits and guardian of the earth’s treasures, stealing the heat from the sun, turning the summers cold, changing the courses of rivers, and disrupting the normal succession of the seasons. In short, the asura’s whims became unbearable. Now the gods bitterly regretted the promise they had elicited from Shiva and tried everything to bring about a fruitful union of the divine ascetic and the young daughter of the mountain, anyway. But, as we have already heard, the unequaled charm of youth did not move the naked meditant with the bleached yellow hair. Even Kama, whose arrows of passion no one can resist, was burned to ashes by Shiva’s angry eye.
