INTRODUCTION

VYASAS' VERSION

The Vanaparva of Mahabharatha has yet another legend. It narrated that once Devasena was put to rout 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 of how Subrahmanya was born to Uma and Maheswar and killing etc. is same as above. and need not to be repeated.
