TOI: Shahbaz as Bali in Mahadev - Page 2

Samudra Manthan is timed for Diwali

Asuras under King Bali's leadership & Devas under Indra's leadership started Samudra Manthan. So it'll be SM during Diwali. They needed a good Asura, there is no one better then Bali.

OMGG.. Even Mohini is there? So that's when Rahu gets a snake face no?

LIST OF THINGS LINED UP
1. Tripura😊
2. Ashoka Sundari😳
3. Mahabali😲
4. Chappan Bhog !!! wonder when that is going to be served??😆
5. Ganesh??👍🏼
6. SM😎

not snake face-his head is cut of by Mohini when he tries to drink the amrut-hence his head becomes immortal😆

Oh the catch is, when samudra emitted all the poison and suffocted people. Mahadev absorbed it and accumulated in his throat no? And some stories say that Lakshmi come of from the churning? How?

Many things comes out of the churning .. the Poison is just one of them

lllooonnnggg story...

• Lakshmi, the Goddess of Fortune and Wealth - accepted by Vishnu as His eternal consort.
• Apsaras, various divine nymphs like Rambha, Menaka, Punjisthala, etc. - given to the demigods.
• Varuni or Sura, goddess and creator of alcohol - taken - somewhat reluctantly (she appeared dishevelled and argumentative) - by the demons.

Likewise, three types of supernatural animals appeared;

• Kamadhenu or Surabhi(sanskrit:kamadhuk), the wish-granting divine cow - taken by Vishnu, and given to sages so ghee from her milk could be used in sacrifices.
• Airavata, and several other elephants, taken by Indra, leader of the devas.
• Uchhaishravas, the divine 7-headed horse - given to the demons.

There were three valuables;

• Kaustubha, the most valuable jewel in the world, worn by Vishnu
• Parijat, the divine flowering tree with blossoms that never fade or wilt - taken to Indraloka by the devas.
• A powerful bow - symbolic of the demon's belligerence.

Additionally produced were;

• Chandra, the moon which adorned Shiva's head
• Dhanvantari, the doctor of the gods with Amrita the nectar of immortality. (At times, considered as two different Ratnas)
• Halahala, the poison swallowed by Shiva

This list varies from Purana to Purana and is also slightly different in the epics, the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Lists are completed by adding the following Ratnas:

• Shankha Vishnu's conch
• Jyestha - the goddess of misfortune
• the umbrella taken by Varuna
• the earrings given to Aditi, by her son Indra
• Tulasi plant
• Nidra or sloth

And Vishnu ji went as Matsya and became the pedastal for the mountain ya?
