As Kandha and his brothers grew they played a lot of pranks all around Kailash. The Devas at first did not know who was playing the pranks and thought it was some Aasura and staged a war against Him. Kandha attached Devas like Indra, Angi, Vayu, Yama and the lot. One by one He defeated all of them. At last the Deva army retreated unable to withstand the force of Shiva's sons. They approached Pragaspathi, the guru of Devas for help. He bowed before Kandha and requested Him to calm down and end his divine pranks with the Devas.
Kandha restored everything back to its place and brought back the Devas to their consciousness. He then showed them His real form which spread all across the universe and the Devas was Shiva, Parvathi and all Devas in Him. It made them realise that Kandha and Shiva are the same.
Being pleased that their saviour has come the Devas shouted in joy and requested their guru to make Him the Supreme Commander of Devas army. Pragaspathi in consultation with Indra and others decided a place and time for this grand event. On the auspicious day Kandha was made the Supreme Commander of Devas in the presence of His parents and all Devas. He was called Devasenathipathi.
