Vidyutkesh was married to 'Salkatankta', daughter of Sandhya. It is believed that 'Salaktankata' was an adulteress. For this reason, when his son was born, he was left abandoned. Vidyut Kesha also did not care about that son knowing that it was not known whose son he was. According to the Puranas, Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati saw that orphan child and provided him protection. He named it Sukesh.
