Translation

The demigods and demons worked almost madly for the nectar, encouraged by the Lord, who was above and below the mountain and who had entered the demigods, the demons, Vāsuki and the mountain itself. Because of the strength of the demigods and demons, the Ocean of Milk was so powerfully agitated that all the alligators in the water were very much perturbed. Nonetheless the churning of the ocean continued in this way.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Strengthened by the Lord who entered the devatās, demons, the mountain and the snake and who was also above and below the mountain, all of the parties, eager for the nectar, energetically churned the ocean, which caused disturbance to all the crocodiles. The Lord was situated above as the thousand-armed form, below as the turtle, in the devatās as sattva, in the demons as rajas, in Vāsuki as tamas and in the mountain as steadiness.
