and the Asuras to take out Amrita. Lord Vishnu with the
intention of preserving good made it a point that the Amrita
should not go to the Asuras. To ensure this he took the
form of Mohini. Mohini so maneuvered the sitting arrangement
that she got to the Devtas first. The Asura to understand
this trick was Swarbhanu. He took the form of Devas and
positioned himself in between Sun and Moon. When his term
came he also received Amrita from the disguised Lord Vishnu.
Before Swarbhanu could drink the Amrita Sun and Moon identified
it. Lord Vishnu severed off his head with his Sudarshan
