स्कन्दमाता / skandamAtA

The next is :

स्कन्दमाता / skandamAtA.

Who is the mother of the Lord :

भगवान् कार्तिकेय / kArtikeya,

कार्तिकेय स्कन्द is also known as :

षाण्मातुर्, / one, having six mothers.

He was brought up by six motherly forms of

देवी / devI.

Though He is born of भगवान् शिव / Lord Shiva and देवी पार्वती / devI pArvatI, He at once after his birth, jumped up and evolved into thIs form of having six faces in a fraction of a second.

So this form of devi has again six attributes of which Lord Skanda is the manifestation.
