It seems u have gone fida over this angry God's romantic side š¤£
thats not a wonder ..because down south his love story is more famous than any other god ...
Even Lord krishna 's fantasies are second to him ...Where ever u go in a festival ,they will never end without Vali Kalyanam (with Skand)...Kaiya puduchu Eluthiya (Vali 's father's dialogue pointing disguised skand "have u caught and pulled my daughter's hand " )...
Equally in contrast to Lovey dovey songs of Kirshna ,,,,Here there are much more songs dedicated to Lord Skand's beautiful face like (Azhagan muruganitam Ahsai vaithen ---=I kept wishes up on skand's beautifull face... etc etc )..More saints are thereI(Arunagiri,Nakirar,pambanswamigal etc) ...whose full time duty is to sung songs dedicated to glory of his beautiful form and his valour ...as a result mostly all the girls went gaga over him ...
But they do know Skand is only a Valivrata although š
@subha they are adopted daughter's only
From Kaichaappar Kandha puranam (Skanda puranam in Tamil )
what i have read and heard is when skand is created by six sparks the news of his birth reached vaikund...after hearing this news ,Lord vishnu closed his eyes there two eye drops fell down ,from that two beautiful women came out..Lord vishnu instructed them to do penance on Lord murugan to marry him ...so in the name of amirtha valli and sundra valli they jointly do penance for a long time ...Skand appeared before and gave the boon as such that amirta will be raised in her next birth as lord Indra's daughter and sundra will appear from before nambirajan from the womb of a dear ,,so she will raised by nambi in her next birth...he will eventually marry both of them after the war with surabadman...
