Another thing - all the devas had given all their weapons to Kartikeya, so how did they fight? In the story of Durga vs Mahishashur where they did that, it made sense, since other than Durga, nobody did any fighting, but here, how could the Devas have given their major weapons to Kartikeya and still had them available for battle? Another thing - the devas were great archers as well, particularly Indra, but he's always shown fighting w/ a sword.


Actually, Indra and Co fighting alongside Kartikeya seems to be another figment of the CVs fertile imagination.

Kartikeya leads an army of his own ganas, commanded by Veerabahu and eight other generals. To the best of my knowledge, Indra and other devas do not enter the battle field. And during the fight, Kartikeya is mounted on an elephant - not the peacock - as is being shown.

Are you talking about the a/c that has Surapadman in it, or the one that has only Taraka? Veerabahu was there in the former, in the Kanda Purana, but not in the Skanda Purana or the Shiva Purana

Kartikeya riding an elephant - was that what they had in the Skanda Purana?

Rishi Dadhichi will join the celebrations from Deva's side. Vritrasur will take a short break, will rejuvenate & return😆

Yes, jayvenk is talking about the Surapadman version.

Ummm... not sure what Skanda Purana says, but in the Tamil versions, Kartikeya is mounted on an elephant. Which is why the elephant is also considered as one of his vahanas (along with ram)
