TRANSLATION

The demigods and demons worked almost madly for the nectar,
encouraged by the Lord, who was above and below the mountain
and who had entered the demigods, the demons, Vasuki and the
mountain itself. Because of the strength of the demigods and
demons, the ocean of milk was so powerfully agitated that all the
alligators in the water were very much perturbed. Nonetheless the
churning of the ocean continued in this way.
