| 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 --by Buffenator |

| "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...." --Vivaha-Yoga ("Union by Marriage") Kama Sutra |
