Though endowed with strength with robust arms resembling
the weapon known as ‘Parigha’ they were not able to lift the
mountain to take it to the destined place. Hence, their efforts
went in vain and they became disappointed. (9)
The Lord who could see everything, on learning the desperation
of the groups of divine beings, ordered the celestial eagle
Garuda to bring the mountain to the ocean, fast. (10)
Garuda, having the speed of the mind, is capable of holding
aloft even the entire cosmic egg along with its enclosures. He
uprooted the mountain again with his beak itself and placed it
on the beach of the ocean and came back. (11)
Then all the sons Kashyapa (demigods and demons) being
pleased, invited Vasuki to participate in the churning of the
ocean assuring him a part of nectar (that would be obtained
after churning the ocean). (12)

Chapter 11
Vasuki came there; all of them were ready to churn the ocean;
at that time then ocean having a human form appeared there
and told them as follows: (13)
“O Demons and divine beings! If you are ready to give me a
part of the nectar I am ready to withstand the pressure of the
Mandara Mountain while churning. (14)
After assuring him to do so, putting all the herbal creepers
into the ocean in the beginning, they put Vasuki round that
golden mountain. Then the divine beings contemplated on
