Kūrma Supports Mandara; Hālahala Appears; Śiva Becomes Nīlakaṇṭha

在主的鼓舞下——祂在山之上亦在山之下，并进入诸天、阿修罗、婆苏吉乃至山体本身——天神与阿修罗为甘露几近狂热，以巨山猛力搅动乳海。乳海剧烈翻腾，水中的鳄类惊惶不安，然而搅乳之业仍旧继续。

In this verse, Śukadeva describes how the Devas and Asuras, empowered by the Supreme Lord from within, vigorously churned the ocean with the great mountain, violently stirring the ocean’s creatures.
Because the Supreme Lord (Viṣṇu) entered within them and invigorated their strength and determination, enabling the churning to proceed powerfully.
Even intense endeavors succeed when supported by the Divine within; channel strong ambition into disciplined effort, while remembering that true power and outcome ultimately depend on the Lord’s sanction.
