Goddess Parvathi hugged the little ones and they became one form with six dazzling faces and twelve hands. The babies took separate forms and were nurtured by the six maidens. Lord Vishnu asked the six apsaras or celestial maidens to suckle and take care of them. The six blazes turned in to an attractive six-faced baby with twelve hands.

They did so and the river in turn carried the blazes and deposited them on a bunch of lotuses. He ordered the God of Fire, Agni and the God of Wind, Vayu to carry them to a thicket of white reeds in the Ganga. Immediately, the demigods panicked and to comfort them, Lord Shiva called it back and made it more tolerable. Suddenly, all six faces opened the third eyes and from it emanated powerful rays as brilliant as cluster of suns and scorching like kalagni, the fire of time that is symbolic of Rudra. Once, when the couple were seated in Kailasa, their abode, the normally five-face Lord assumed six faces and looked at Parvathi lovingly.

Kamadeva was brought back to life at the insistence of the Goddess but he was Ananga, or unseen. He married Parvati who was an incarnation of Sati. But all the gods including Lord Vishnu continued to pray and Lord Shiva finally obliged. He opened his third eye and reduced Kamadeva to ashes. One day, while He was in deep meditation, the God of Love Kamadeva aimed his arrows at Shiva which angered him. It was also said that they would meet their fate only at the hands of Lord ShivaвЂ™s progeny.

He appeared on earth with the combination of all powers and knowledge with a view to provide peace and security.
