Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 8, Ch. 9]
demons thought that the demigods would get only a little of the nectar and that Mohinī-mūrti was so pleased with the demons that She would give the demons all the nectar. The words  vañcayann upasañcaraiḥ  indicate that the Lord's whole policy was to cheat the demons simply by speaking sweet words. The Lord's intention was to distribute the nectar only to the demigods.
TEXT 22
ते पालयन्तः समयमसुराः स्वकृतं नृप । तूष्णीमासन्कृतस्नेहाः स्त्रीविवादजुगुप्सया ॥२२॥
te pālayantaḥ samayam asurāḥ sva-kṛtaṁ nṛpa tūṣṇīm āsan kṛta-snehāḥ strī-vivāda-jugupsayā
te —the demons;  pālayantaḥ —keeping in order;  samayam —equilibrium;  asurāḥ —the demons;  sva-kṛtam —made by them;  nṛpa —O King;  tūṣṇīm āsan —remained silent;  kṛta-snehāḥ —because of having developed attachment to Mohinī-mūrti;  strī-vivāda —disagreeing with a woman;  jugupsayā —because of thinking such an action as abominable.
TRANSLATION
O King, since the demons had promised to accept whatever the woman did, whether just or unjust, now, to keep this promise, to show their equilibrium and to save themselves from fighting with a woman, they remained silent.
