Lord Shiva said that he must learn from Lord Brahma, as he is the supreme creator. Later, when Lord Shiva asked, he explained the whole episode to him. Brahma explained to him, but he was not satisfied. Once Kartikeya asked Lord Brahma to explain the meaning of Om. The ego is necessary for life, but it should be kept subdued. This also means that the ego should always be kept subdued. Taraka prayed to always be at the feet of the Lord, and so Lord Kartikeya made him the emblem on his flag. After defeating Taraka (ego) in battle, Kartikeya spared his life and asked him what boon he desired. So, Tarakasur (ego) became a chicken or rooster after being defeated by Kartikeya. In another version, Tarakasur was defeated by Lord. On the other hand, he carries a small flag on which a rooster is present. If you look at the idol of Kartikeya, on the one hand, He carries a spear.
