respective children were called Adityas and Daityas. Once
they were fighting over a pot of Amrita which could grant them
immortality. Vishnu took the form of Mohini and came to settle
the dispute. While the vile Daityas were distracted by her
beauty, Mohini offered the Amrita to gentle Adityas. One
Daitya got suspicious and sat among the Adityas. As soon as
Mohini poured the Amrita into his mouth, The Sun (Surya )
and The Moon ( Chandra ) recognised the intruder. To
prevent the anomaly, Vishnu cut off his head but it was too
late as he had already acquired immortality. But he couldn't
join back with his body, so he became two lives X and Y. X
