O demigods, cast into the Ocean of Milk all kinds of vegetables, grass, creepers and drugs. Then, with My help, making Mandara Mountain the churning rod and Vāsuki the rope for churning, churn the Ocean of Milk with undiverted attention. Thus the demons will be engaged in labor, but you, the demigods, will gain the actual result, the nectar produced from the ocean.
Purport

It appears that when different kinds of drugs, creepers, grass and vegetables are put into this milk and the milk is churned, as milk is churned for butter, the active principles of the vegetables and drugs mix with the milk, and the result is nectar.

Translation
Cast all kinds of vegetables, grasses, creepers and herbs into the ocean of milk. Then, with my help, making Mandara Mountain the churning rod and Vāsuki the rope, churn the ocean of milk with undiverted attention. The demons will be engaged in labor but you will gain the actual result. Churning the plants with the milk will produce a decoction which will be nectar. Netram means a rope. Do it with help from me. The result is described. You will attain the nectar and the demons will just put forth effort.
