They >>performed different activities in the Churning Episode as did Lord Visnu >>(seated on top) and Mohini. They are all generally the same Person. Let's take it from the Srimad Bhagavatam. From the following it seems as Ajita manifested the form of a tortoise, while simultaneously remaining on the shore of the ocean, in his original Ajita-form. "The wife of Vairaja, whose name was Devasambhuti, gave birth to Ajita, an incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This Ajita, taking the shape of a tortoise and holding the mountain known as Mandara on His back, churned the ocean and produced nectar for the demigods." -SB, 8.5, summary. "Seeing the situation that had been created by the will of the Supreme, the unlimitedly powerful Lord, whose determination is infallible, took the wonderful shape of a tortoise, entered the water, and lifted the great Mandara Mountain." -SB 8.7.8 "When nectar did not come from the ocean of milk, despite so much endeavor by the best of the demigods and demons, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Ajita, personally began to churn the ocean." -SB 8.7.16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
