The armies of Devtas stood in front of the army of Tarkasur. Kartikeya blew the shankhnad and thus the second Devasur sangram of the yug began.

Tarkasur had created several vyuhs around him, to prevent Kartikeya from reaching him.

The armies of Asurs were more than that of devas thus were easily able to overpower them, yet Kartikeya managed to go through them.

Until a huge hoard of Asurs attacked him all together, making it difficult for him to fight as they attacked him from all the direction.

They made him fall down from his vahan, and attacked him together not even letting him stand up.

But suddenly all the Asurs surrounding him got thrown away, Kartikeya looked at them consfused and then his eyes fell on the god coming towards him.

All the Asurs were just being thrown away from his aura. Kartikeya saw Shreeshaktiswar coming towards him.

But instead of a calm expression, his face carried expression of anger. Kartikeya easily came to know he was not Shreeshaktiswar but his avtar Yuddheshwar.

Yuddheshwar gave Kartikeya a hand, which he took and stood up. Kartikeya was not used his angered face.

"Jyesht ?" Kartikeya muttered.

Yuddheshwar looked at him up and down looking at his bruised figure. His blood boiled seeing the bruises of his brother.

"Kaal-shakti !" Yuddheshwar called.

Suddenly a fiery and fearsome deity appeared at the ground, with blood lust eyes.

"Aadesh." Kaal-shakti said in a hoarse voice.

"Inn adharmi Asuro ka Sanghar karo !" Yuddheshwar ordered.

"Uchit hai." Kaal-shakti said and lunged at the asuras.

"Tum jao Kartikeya, Tarkasur tumhara laksh hai." Yuddheshwar said.

"J-ji Bhrata." Kartikeya said and left.

As kaal-shakti took care of all the Asurs and thus Devtas went to Kartikeya's aid. They finally reached the Vyuhs of Tarkasur.

No matter how hard they tried they weren't able to get through it.

"Issi ka bhaye tha ! Tarkasur ko vardaan prapt hai ! Hum parajit hojayenge !" Indradev sighed.

Listening to this Kartikeya looked down, how can they defy Brahmadev's boon. Is it true now that they will loose ? Kartikeya wondered.

Suddenly he remembered the knowledge he got from Yudh-kaushala.

"Yoddhao ka sabse bada shashtra kya hai ?" Kartikeya asked.

"Sahas aur Dharm. Jab tak yoddha ke paas sahas hai woh yudh haar kar bhi parajit nahi hota. Aur jab tak tum Dharm ke liye yudh karoge Kartikeya toh sadev ajay rahoge." Yudh-Kaushala said.

Remembering those words he looked up with hope and saw Yudh-kaushala looking at him with a smile. She gave him a nod of assurance and he smiled.

"Hum parajit nahi ho sakte !" Kartikeya said.

The gods looked at him with confused expressions.

"Dharm aur adharm ke yudh mei, sadev dharm ki hi jeet hoti hai. Yahi parmatma ki yojna hai jo vifal nahi ho sakti." Kartikeya said.

"Satya kaha kumar ne, hum awashya vijay honge. Mata Yudh-kaushala ki kripa hai hum par, hum haar nahi maanenge !" Suryadev said.

Kartikeya mounted on his peacock and went towards the Vyuhs. With his bravery and valor he surpassed all the vyuhs.

Tarkasur looked at the his Kaal in front of him. He was in disbelief as to how can the boon of Brahma fail.

"Asambhav ! Brahmadev ka vardaan mithya kaise hogaya ?!" Tarkasur yelled.

"Tumne maanga tha ki tumhare dwara rachit vyuh ko koi na bhed sake na akele na samuh mei. Kintu smaran karo mere janm ka din, tumhare hi karan mai 6 bhago mei bata tha, aur Maa ne punah mujhe ek mei Skandit kiya tha. Iss liye mai na akela hu aur na samuh mei." Kartikeya said.

He lunged at Tarkasur and a terrible battle took place, Kartikeya got the upperhand and pinned him on the ground.

"Ek aur vardaan smaran karo Tarkasur jo Tumne Mahadev se maanga tha ! KI TUMHARA ANNT KEVAL SHIV-SHAKTI KE PUTRA SE HO !" Kartikeya roared as he stabs Tarkasur with his shulam.

"NAHI !!!" Tarkasur screamed in pain.

Knowing that his end was here, he closed his eyes as tears streamed down his face.

"Om namah Shivaye...." Tarkasur muttered and fell in the grasp of death.

"DEVSENAPATI KARTIKEYA KI JAI !!" The gods hailed.
