The last paragraph will show her married to King Yayati and she will talk to her two sons about how to treat women with respect when they grow up. (How Yayti betrays her and secretly marries her friend Sharmista is the plot of another novel, maybe a sequel. Another interesting fact is that Lord Krishna is a great-grandson of this Asura woman, Devayani )Anand NeelakantanAuthorAsura, Tale of the DefeatedAjaya, Rolling of the DiceAjaya, Rise of Kali.
