Kayadhu agreed to marry Hiranyakshipu with a heavy heart. She felt like she was losing her freedom and her devotion to the Lord. She prayed to the Lord to save her from this terrible fate.

The demon marriage took place in the serpent kingdom, under the watchful eyes of Hiranyakshipu's army.

Kayadhu was dressed in a yellow -pink bridal attire, adorned with gold and jewels.  She looked like a goddess, but she felt like a corpse

She was escorted by her father and the guards to the altar, where Hiranyakashipu was waiting for her. He looked at her with lust and pride, and smiled wickedly.

Kayadhu felt a shiver down her spine as she saw his evil eyes. She tried to resist, but the guards dragged her to the altar and forced her to sit beside him. She closed her eyes and cried silently, as the demon priest started chanting the demonic mantras.

She wished that someone would come and rescue her from this nightmare. She wished that Lord Vishnu would hear her prayers and intervene. She wished that she could escape from this demon marriage.

The ceremony began with the invocation of the demon king himself. The demon priest chanted mantras that praised Hiranyakshipu as the supreme lord of the universe, and cursed the Supreme Lord Vishnu and his devotees as the enemies of creation. He also invoked the curses of the planets and the stars, to ensure that the marriage would bring misfortune and misery to the world.

Hiranyakshipu put a garland around her neck and a ring on her finger. He declared her as his wife and his property.

Hiranyakshipu vowed to protect and honor Kayadhu, as long as she served him and his interests. Kayadhu vowed to obey and please Hiranyakshipu, as long as he spared her father and her people. The vows were sealed with the exchange of garlands and rings, made of bones and iron.

The demon priest then performed the ritual of fire, where he lit a large pyre and asked the couple to walk around it seven times. The fire was fueled by the bodies of the serpent soldiers, who had been killed by Hiranyakshipu's army.

The flames were high and hot, and the smoke was thick and black. The couple had to endure the heat and the stench, as they circled the fire.

The demon priest said that the fire symbolized the power and the fury of Hiranyakshipu.

The ceremony ended as the demons showered the couple with flowers and gifts. The flowers were poisonous and the gifts were weapons. The flowers symbolized the beauty and the fragility of life, and that the gifts symbolized the strength and the violence of war. They wished the couple a long and prosperous life, full of conquest and domination.

The demon guests then congratulated the couple and celebrated the occasion. They danced and sang, drank and ate, fought and killed. They indulged in their lusts and their passions, without any regard for morality or decency. They rejoiced in the triumph of Demon King Hiranyakshipu, and the downfall of the serpent race.

The serpent king watched the demon marriage with a broken heart. He felt a deep pain and a bitter regret. He had sacrificed his daughter for the sake of his kingdom, but he had lost both.

He had betrayed his faith and his honor, but he had gained nothing. He had hoped to save his people from the wrath of Hiranyakshipu, but he had doomed them to a life of slavery and misery.

He looked at his daughter, who was now the wife of the demon king. He saw the fear and the sorrow in her eyes, and the resignation and the despair in her face.

He wished he could hug her and comfort her, but he knew he could not. He wished he could free her and take her away, but he knew he could not. He wished he could die and end his misery.

He bowed his head and closed his eyes. He prayed to the Supreme Lord Vishnu, and asked for his forgiveness and his mercy. He begged him to save his daughter and his people, and to destroy the demon king and his evil. He hoped that the Lord would hear his prayer, and that he would send his avatar to restore the balance of the universe.

Kayadhu was going to say something to her father, but the demon King  grabbed her by the hair and dragged her to his flying chariot, ignoring her screams and pleas. He whipped the winged horses and soared into the sky, leaving behind a trail of fire and smoke.

Kayadhu looked down and saw her home fading away. She felt a surge of despair and fear. She wondered if she would ever see her family and friends again.

She turned to the demon king and begged him to let her go. But he only laughed and tightened his grip on her. He told her that she was his property now, and that she had to obey him in everything.

They reached the demon kingdom, a dark and dismal land. The sky was filled with thunder and lightning, and the ground was barren and rocky. The demon king's palace was a towering fortress of iron and stone, surrounded by a moat of lava.

As they approached, they saw a crowd of demons waiting at the gate. They were cheering and chanting the demon king's name. They had heard of his conquest and his new bride. They were eager to see the serpant princess who had fallen into his clutches.

The demon king landed his chariot and raised his hand, silencing the crowd. He announced that he had brought them a gift, a trophy of his victory over the serpant kingdom.

He said that he had married Kayadhu, and that she was now his queen. He ordered the demons to bow before her and to show her their loyalty. He said that anyone who dared to harm her or disobey her would face his wrath.

The demons bowed, but not out of respect. They bowed out of fear and hatred. They despised Kayadhu for being a serpant, for being weak and beautiful, for being the demon king's wife. They wished they could tear her apart, but they knew they could not. They had to pretend to welcome her, to serve her, to honor her.
