Kartikey vows to protect the deities from the asuras. On Ganesh's advice, Kartikey seeks Mahadev's permission to support the deities in performing yagya. Mahadev allows Kartikey to perform his duties, and alerts him about the consequences of the yagya. He becomes sad as Kartikey criticises him for supporting Andhaka. Mahadev and Parvati bless Kartikey to accomplish his mission. Lohitang vents his anger on recalling Mahadev. Ganesh and Parvati wish for Lohitang's wellbeing.
