Agni's son was the handsome Kumara who was born in the forest and as he was reared up by Kirtika and others, he was called Kartikeya. After him were (born his three brothers, namely) Shakha, Vishakha and Naigameya, Anila's wife was Shiva and her sons were Manojava.
अग्नेः पुत्रः कुमारस्तु श्रीमाञ्च्छरवणालयः। तस्य शाखो विशाखश्च नैगमेयश्च पृष्ठजः॥ कृत्तिकाभ्युपपत्तेश्च कार्तिकेय इति स्मृतः। अनिलस्य शिवा भार्या तस्याः पुत्रो मनोजवः॥
