Karthikeya killed Soorapadman and saved the devas. They assigned Kamadeva to awake Lord Shiva from his penance, who later gave birth to Kartikeya. According to the legend, in the olden days the demon Soorapadman tortured the Devas, who went to complain to Lord Vishnu and Brahma. The story of Lord Murugan is described in Skanda Purana.
