23naga - An Overview
The devas and the asuras decided to get Amṛta (Ambrosia—the celestial honey of immortalily) by churning The ocean of milk. The Devas went to provide Mandara-mountain, to be used as the churning rod. Their try was futile. The asuras manufactured a demo with the same consequence. The Bhūtagaṇas (Guards) of Śiva also produced a vain endeavor.
