Devas and Asuras appeal to Lord Vishnu to help hold the Mandara Mountain steadily and help them churn the Milky ocean to get the nectar of immortality.
(NOTE: Ravikiran subsequently modified the lyrics slightly to also create an additional version of this piece to make it suitable for general music and dance concerts.)
