A throng of gods came to Brahma and sang hymns in his adoration. Brahma was pleased with them and wanted to know why they had come to him.
Brihspati thus spoke: "Tarakasur the demon got a boon from you. and request to protect us from his cruelty." Brahma told the gods that only the son of Mahadev could destroy the demon and they should bring about Mahadev marriage with Parvati.
तस्यात्मा शितिकण्ठस्य सैनापत्यमुपेत्य वः| मोक्ष्यते सुरबन्दीनां वेणीर्वीर्यविभूतिभिः॥ २-६१
"That direct descendant of Shiva on acquiring commandership of the armies of gods can re-capacitate the captivated celestial maidens to take haircare for they are unheedful of it during durance vile..." Thus Brahma assured the delegation of gods. [2-61]
