The Milk White Ocean
A careless gesture by the Lord of the Skies brings disintegration and war to the earth. The Gods appeal to Vishnu to help them defeat the Demons. He tells them they must churn the nectar of immortality from the milk white ocean if they are to save themselves and return the earth to its former self.
