Description
English: "Viṣṇu as Mohini, identified by an inscription 'Narayana', is doling out the amrita to the assembled gods seated opposite the asuras. While she is busy she is distracted by the asuras clamouring for their share. In that moment, Rahu seated among the devas, and anxious to get his share of amrita, is discovered and decapitated by Viṣṇu's cakra."
