History
When Durvasa curses the gods to lose their immortality, they became weak. Vishnu said that the only thing to cure them was the amrita, the elixir of immortality, hidden somewhere in the ocean. So they called upon the asuras, promising them a share of the amrita, and used the Naga King Vasuki as a rope. When they began the churning, poison burst into the air, upon request Shiva drank it all, Vasuki got stuck in his teeth. Many things came out of the ocean beside the amrita: the moon, Kalpavriksha, the tree that grants wishes, and even goddesses like Varuni. Lord Vishnu, transformed into Mohini, an enchantress, to sneakily distracted the asuras for a while so that the Devas could consume the amrita.
