Malainindra Thirukumara

Even as a boy Lord Shanmukha showed his extraordinary prowess and valour. His Lilas during boyhood supplied confirmation to the Devas that He was the fittest saviour and the best General to command the army against the mighty Asura, Surapadma. Once, while He was playing up and down the hills, some Devas, being ignorant of the real greatness of the Lord, dragged him playfully to fight, treating Him as an ordinary child. Ultimately Indra arrayed his army against this boy for a fight, but was defeated in the end and almost killed. At the intervention of Narada, the Devas realised their folly in fighting against their own saviour and begged His pardon. Out of compassion the Lord brought back the dead Devas to life.
