Brihaspati is known as the Guru of Devas. Because of his title as the Guru, a lot of devas visited him regarding their problems. Once Brihaspati had some critical work with Indra Dev, he reached DevLok to talk to Indra regarding this matter. However, Indra was in deep meditation and paid no attention to Brihaspati. This action of Indra was taken by Brihaspati as an act of disrespect. He then proceeds to abandon the Devlok.
This news reached the Rakshasas, and they found this as an opportunity of a lifetime. They knew without the Guru - Brihaspati, the Devas were weak and thus proceeded with war towards them. The fight happened, and initially, the rakshasas won. The Devtas, without their Guru's guidance, could not claim victory. Thus all the Devas altogether went to find Brihaspati. Upon seeing him, they urged him to return to the Devlok and take charge. Upon everyone's request, Brihaspati agreed to return to the Devlok. The Devas went to war against Rakshasas once again, and this time with the help of Guru, Brihaspati won.
The story goes as Brihaspati was paid a visit by Chandra Dev(Moon God). Chandra saw Brihaspati's wife Tara, and instantly admired her beauty. So Chandra proceeded to woo Tara with the help of black magic. Later, with Chandra, Tara eloped. When Brihaspati came to know about this, he instantly went to Chandra and demanded his wife back. But Chandra refused, and thus the situation got so bad that they were about to be at war. However, Brahma dev intervened and convinced Chandra to let Tara go with Brihaspati. However, Tara, by that time, was already pregnant by Chandra's child, who today is known as Budh. Brihaspati, upon learning this, was angered. But, on the other hand, as he was an illegitimate child, he never had a liking towards Chandra and thus always envied him. Moreover, seeing Budh's genius and kindness, Brihaspati proceeded to adopt him.
