Rakshasa

    Demon, unclean dead thing
    Worse, commonplace lord
    Unworthy of my affections
    You are beneath me

    You are my master, my guardian
    My warden and my tormentor
    My lover and source of ecstasy
    Torture, humiliation and pain

    My body sings your song
    Even as I cry in agony
    I am your plaything
    To discard or keep in a whim

    You are my teacher
    I have learned many things
    How to feel, how to scream your name
    Dishonor, shame and hate

    My body may answer your call
    But my heart cries in silence
    I long to be with you
    But the sacrifice is too much

    You are nothing to me
    But a scourge to be endured
    A lust to be indulged
    A bittersweet torture to bear

"The rakshasa marriage, "of the demons," carried out by brutal abduction...

A stranger in the village...abducts the girl after killing or putting her guardians to flight, as Krishna did for Rukmini.  Being unethical, there is no question of the sacred fire, as in gandharva marriage...

The rakshasa rite is an act of violence and cannot be compared with (the other forms of marriage.)   It is quite another matter...."
