PLATE TWO

Rahu, the demon who causes eclipses of the sun and moon, covered
himself with the dress of a demigod and thus entered the assembly of the
demigods and drank nectar without being detected by anyone, even by
the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The moon and the sun, however,
because of permanent animosity toward Rahu, understood the situation.
Thus Rahu was detected. Then the Supreme Lord, Hari (Mohini). using
His disc, which was sharp like a razor, at once cut off Rahu’s head. When
Rahu’s head was severed from his body, his body immediately died, but
his head, having been touched by the nectar, became immortal.
