Parāçara said:—"Thus eulogised by the immortals, that creator of the cosmos—the worshipful Hari—casting a complacent glance, spoke (as follows). And the auspicious reverend One said,—‘Ye gods, I shall increase your power. Let the deities do as I say. Bring in company with the Daityas all the medicinal plants to the shore of the Ocean of milk, and making Mandāra the churning-stick and Vāsuki the cord, let the deities churn (the Ocean) for ambrosia, I assisting them.

In plain words: Pleased, Vishnu (also called Hari) promises to make the gods strong again. He tells them to work with the demons to bring healing herbs to the Ocean of Milk. They should use Mount Mandara as a churning stick and the serpent Vasuki as the rope, and churn the ocean for amrita, the drink of immortality, with his help.
