Source: Shodhganga: Historical setting of the vaisnava divyaksetras in the southern pandya countryAmṛthamantha (अमृथमन्थ, “churning the ocean of milk”) is said to have been undertaken by the gods and demons with a view to obtain the amṛtha from the Kṣīrabhdi “Ocean of Milk”, the sea in which the Lord Vi ṣṇ u reclines. 222 It was on this occasion that Viṣṇu took the Mohinī aṃśāvatāra to distribute the amṛta. During the churning process, the Mount Manthara was used as the churn stick. The mighty snake, Vāsuki, served as the rope. Kūrma supported the mount. The gods stood on the side of the tail of the snake and the demons were on the head side.
