ANTIQUITY 

VYASAS' VERSION

The Vanaparva of Mahabharatha has yet another legend. It narrated that once Devasena was put to route by Kesin, a dreadful demon of unusual powers. And he carried the Devasena personified as Lady. Devasena had a sister called Daityasena. They were Prajapati's daughters. When Brahma was invoked for help by Devendra, he said that Subrahmanya alone could kill that Danava and promised a valorous life partner for Devasena, who would become War Lord of the Devaloka. The later story - Subrahmanya was born to Uma and Maheswar and killing etc. is same as above, and need not be repeated.
