A respected friend was pointing out about variations in description of certain episodes in puranams and itihasas. I can only reply as follows
What I dealt with was only one sargam in valmikiramayanam.
The skanda episode differs slightly even in the next sargam which I propose to post next.
Daksha yagam bears different descriptions in bhagavatham skandam Siva puranam etc.
We need not worry about minor details and logic.
Broad storylines alone may agree.
Hinduism in general stresses importance of six deities..shiva Vishnu Devi surya subramania and ganesha.
And to varying degrees some other deities too. This is broadly called shanmatam.
The followers of each view the others differently.
And the literature is so vast on any or all of these.
So it would seem sensible not to analyse peripheral details.
They are only opinions .
