Halahala

It was created from the Ocean of Milk when the devas and the asuras churned it (see Samudra Manthana) in order to obtain amrita, the nectar of immortality.But before the amrita could be formed, Halāhala was produced, which started injuring both sides.As no one could bear the lethal fumes emitted by the poison, both the devas and the asuras began to collapse due to asphyxiation.His wife, the goddess Parvati, was alarmed, as she gripped her husband's neck with both hands in order to stop the poison from reaching his stomach, thus earning him the epithet Viṣakaṇṭha (the one who held poison in his neck).The second episode of Indian television show Sacred Games was named Halahala based on the poison.
