Kaalakeyas

                                                    Kaalakeyas
Kaalakeyas is the name of group of demons who were notorious for their ill works.  They got this name because of their mother Kaalika.
With the help of another demon named Vrutasur , they were giving trouble to saints and also to devas and people. All were fed up of their trouble. They asked the help of God Vishnu.
Their strategy was that they were hiding in the sea during night and were coming out in day time. It had become an impossible job to trace them in the sea during night.
God Vishnu knew that saint Agasthya had the ability to swallow anything. Hence , he requested Agasthya to help in tracing the demons.
Agasthya agreed and likewise, he drank the whole sea water as if he was very thirsty ! Then it was easy to spot the hiding place of Kaalakeyas and devas killed the troublesome demons.
