Then all the gods and demons made ready to churn that best of oceans, the Ocean of Milk, O son of the sage. Having well propitiated Girīśa and being commanded by him, the gods and demons, wishing to bring (Mandara), forcibly uprooted it, (and came) to the ocean of milk. But at the time of the birth of the nectar, those drops that flew outside — from them arose many women of wondrous appearance. And the soma was carried off by the sons of Diti, having by force defeated the gods — by Bali and the rest, O Vyāsa, who shone like the sun and the fire at the end of an age. Then they raised lion-roars and blew their conches one after another, as if filling the sky and gratifying the clouds. Hearing that, Brahmā took them (the gods) and went to Mount Kailāsa; there, seeing Śiva, he bowed down again and again along with the gods.
