The text argues that Skanda?s early ?popular? cult is found in Graha and M?t? traditions oriented towards appeasing potentially dangerous spirits. Once propitiated, however, Skanda and his Grahas/ M?t?s could become fierce protectors of their followers. During the Ku???a and Gupta empires, this tradition gains the attention of rulers, who transform the deity?s protective cult into one focused on the ruler?s military prowess and right to rule. Once detached from his former popular traditions the deity?s cult begins to falter in the north as it becomes increasingly focused on elite agendas. 410 0$aBrill's Indological library ;$vv. 39. 606 $aKa?rttikeya (Hindu deity)$xCult$zIndia, North$xHistory 606 $aHinduism$zIndia, North$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aKa?rttikeya (Hindu deity)$xCult$xHistory. 615 0$aHinduism$xHistory. 676 $a294.5/2113 700 $aMann$b Richard D$0766247 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457925603321 996 $aThe rise of Maha?sena$92183064 997 $aUNINA
