Reading Notes: The Churning Ocean

The Churning Ocean 

I really liked the plot twist at the end. This tale casually tells the story about how eclipses are created as well as how the gods became immortals and why the rashikis are still mortal. I thought it was tied up very well. 
    
Character: Vishnu 

- Seems to have a plan before the lesser gods and is just using them 
- was able to help the lesser gods whenever they needed it, don't know why Vishnu did not just do it themselves. 
- There were also other things trapped under the ocean, and churning the ocean freed them to, so I wonder if there was some reason that Vishnu could not free them.
