Srimad Bhagavatam — Ashtama Skandha, Shloka 6
Mohinī-mūrti Distributes Amṛta; Rāhu is Severed; Results Differ by Shelter
सा त्वं न: स्पर्धमानानामेकवस्तुनि मानिनि । ज्ञातीनां बद्धवैराणां शं विधत्स्व सुमध्यमे ॥ ६ ॥
sā tvaṁ naḥ spardhamānānām eka-vastuni mānini jñātīnāṁ baddha-vairāṇāṁ śaṁ vidhatsva sumadhyame
噢，尊贵的佳人，我们因这一件事——甘露之器——彼此争竞，结下仇怨；虽同族亲属，敌意却日增。噢，细腰美人，愿你施恩，为我们平息纷争，作出裁断。
The demons understood that the beautiful woman had attracted the attention of them all. Therefore they unanimously requested Her to become the arbiter to settle their dispute.
FAQs
In Canto 8, Chapter 9, the Devas appeal to Mohinī-mūrti to create auspiciousness and resolve the conflict over the single prize—amṛta—so that dharma may be protected.
Because the Devas and Asuras, though connected through shared origins, had become locked in hostility while competing for amṛta; seeing Mohinī’s extraordinary presence, the Devas requested her to bring peace and a favorable outcome.
When competition over one limited resource creates hostility even among “our own,” seek a dharmic mediator and prioritize śam—peace and long-term welfare—over ego-driven rivalry.
