Once Indra was defeated by Narakāsura. He went to the Himālayas and hid himself there. Unable to see their King Indra, the devas went to Subrahmaṇya. When Indra knew this, he thought that Subrahmaṇya had taken possession of the world of the gods. So he came and fought with Subrahmaṇya. The thunderbolt of Indra touched the face of Subrahmaṇya and wounded him.
