Nagraj(the king) came back to his kingdom bringing the baby girl, where he announced her birth to his subjects. 

The joy of the subjects of the serpent king for the birth of the princess was immense and unparalleled. They felt as if they had received a divine gift from Lord Vishnu himself, who had blessed their king and their race with a daughter. 

They considered the girl as their own sister, daughter, and mother, and revered her as a goddess. They celebrated her birth with great enthusiasm and devotion and offered her their prayers and praises. They also expressed their gratitude and loyalty to the King, who had brought them such a fortune and honor. 

They sang songs and danced, decorated their homes and temples with flowers and lamps. They also distributed sweets and gifts among themselves. They hoped that the princess would bring them prosperity, peace, and happiness, and protect them from all evils. 

They also wished that she would find a suitable husband, who would be worthy of her beauty, wisdom, and power. They were proud and happy to be the subjects of the serpent king and the princess as now the whole palace and the kingdom will be fulfilled with the laughter and mischievousness of the child.

The Serpent King also invited the other kings of the netherworld, such as Bali, the king of the demons, and Varuna, the king of the waters, to join the festivities. They all came and congratulated him and admired the baby girl. They also brought gifts for her, such as jewels, flowers, and clothes and showered her with love and affection.

The next day, the serpent king announced the auspicious naming ceremony of his daughter to his subjects and guests. 

After the morning prayer, Nagraj called the Saptarishis (The seven sages) for the auspicious naming of the child.

The seven sages gathered in the royal chamber for the naming of the baby girl, who would hold the key to bringing hope and enlightenment to the world. The sages, renowned for their wisdom and insight, understood the importance of choosing a name that would carry profound meaning.

After deep contemplation and meditation, the seven sages decided to name the baby girl 'Kayadhu,' which is a combination of two powerful words: 'kaya,' meaning 'body,' and 'dhu,' meaning 'to transform' or 'to provide solace.' The choice of 'Kayadhu' as her name spoke to the belief that this extraordinary child possessed an inner strength that would enable her to not only transcend her own limitations but also bring solace to others. She would grow up to become a beacon of hope, leading the world towards a path of transformation and healing.

Then the rishis made the horoscope of the child which would have insights into the child's future like her personality, characteristics, and potential achievements.

The nagraj asked the rishis, "Please let me know how the future of the child will be. Will her partner be good and a follower of Dharma(religion)? How will she bring hope to the world? "

The rishis hearing Nagraj's concern, talked among themselves. Then replied, "Your daughter will be an ardent devotee of Vishnu just like you and your descendants. She will be kind, honest and a great mother in the future. Her child will be the follower of Dharma(religion) and a justful king."

Nagraj was happy to know that his daughter will be so virtuous but he didn't understand why the sages were talking about her child not about her partner.

He then asked, "But what about her partner? "

The sages replied, "He will reach salvation in the hands of Lord Vishnu Himself. "

Then Nagraj thought he might be a great soul as Lord Vishnu Himself will give salvation to him. But he didn't know what fate had for his child.

Nagraj gifted a gold bracelet to the baby for blessings and prosperity.

Then he announced to the kingdom, "My dear subjects, I am honored and delighted to share with you the name of my beloved daughter, who is a boon from Lord Vishnu. She is the princess of the nagas, the serpent goddess of prosperity, and the devotee of Narayana. Her name is Kayadhu. She is the embodiment of beauty, wisdom, and compassion, and she has a special power to transform herself into any form she wishes. She is the pride and joy of our race, and the hope and blessing of the world. Please join me in welcoming and blessing my daughter"

The serpent king then held his daughter in his arms and showed her to the crowd, who cheered and applauded. They chanted her name and praised her qualities. They also offered her gifts and flowers, and wished her a long and happy life.
