SB 8.9.22
te palayantah samayam
asurah sva-krtam nrpa
tusnim asan krta-snehah
stri-vivada-jugupsaya

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.

SB 8.9.23
tasyam krtatipranayah
pranayapaya-katarah
bahu-manena cabaddha
nocuh kiñcana vipriyam

Translation: 
The demons had developed affection for Mohini-murti and a kind of faith in Her, and they were afraid of disturbing their relationship. Therefore they showed respect and honor to Her words and did not say anything that might disturb their friendship with Her.

Purport: 
The demons were so captivated by the tricks and friendly words of Mohini-murti that although the demigods were served first, the demons were pacified merely by sweet words. The Lord said to the demons, "The demigods are very miserly and are excessively anxious to take the nectar first. So let them have it first. Since you are not like them you can wait a little longer. You are all heroes and are so pleased with Me. It is better for you to wait until after the demigods drink."
