A bas-relief at the temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia includes a
depiction of devas and asuras working together to stir up the Ocean of
Milk in an attempt to free the precious objects lost within, including
the elixir of immortality called amrita. The scheme, masterminded by
Vishnu, was to wrap the serpent Vasuki around Mount Mandara and then to
rotate the mountain and to churn the
surrounding sea in the manner of a gigantic food processor, by
alternately pulling on the serpent's head and then on his tail.
