Mohini and the nectar
After the churning of the ocean, the asuras quarrel over the nectar. Vishnu appears as Mohini. They entrust her with dividing it and promise to accept her decision.
Mohini seats the devas and asuras in separate rows and gives the nectar to the devas. Rahu disguises himself and joins their row, but the Sun and Moon recognise him. Vishnu severs his head with the discus. Having tasted the nectar, Rahu’s head survives.
