Sometime later, Mohni started walking around. The other gods and asuras wanted to be close to her. Addressing all, she asked all to sit in two lines. One line would have the devas and one line would have the asuras.
Mohini said she would walk between the lines and would distribute the nectar amongst them. She said if the asuras did not mind, she would start with the devas and then come to the asuras with the nectar.
She distributed the nectar among the Gods and then drank the remaining herself.
Suddenly Surya and Chandra (Sun and Moon) saw that Rahu in the guise of a God and drunk the nectar. Hearing this Mohini, using the Sudarshan Chakra, cut off Rahu's head. As the nectar had gone down Rahu's body, the two parts of his body became immortal - the head being called Rahu and the rest of the body. Ketu.
After this, Mohini vanished with the pot of nectar. Knowing that they had been duped, the Asuras started fighting with the Devas.
The Devas were refreshed with the nectar, and the Asuras still tired, so the Devas won this battle.
The Sages hearing from Sauti wanted to know what happened to Kadaru and Vinata.
