Dear Mr.Arvind Rangan ,
I agree with what Mr.Vasan Srirangachari has offered as an
explanation .
However ,I would like to add that in every Avatar , whether it is
Mukya Avatar like Matsya, Koorma , Varaha , Narasimha etc ( 10 Avatars )
and Gowna Avatars such as Swaroopa Avesa Avatar ( Parasurama , Balarama
etc) and Sakthi Avatar like Karthaveeryarjuna , Budha,
Kapilar etc , Sriman Narayana has a specific purpose of establishing the
righteousness , Dharma , sadhu samrakshanam and removing the evil. In this
context Mohini Avatar was taken only to trick the Asuras and offer the
Amrutham ( nectar) to Devas for their everlasting life . When Mahavishnu was
churning the Thiruparkadal apart from Kamadenu , Mahalakshmi , so many things
came out including the Amrutham and Asuras , who participated in the churning
process wanted to have the Amrutham , all for themselves and offering to them
would be detrimental to the universe. Hence God wanted to do some thing to
divert their attention. Hence this Avatar. It is one of the specific
Avatar lasting for a short duration only to help Devas.

According to srimad Bhagvatam,lord's avataarams are innumerable out of which
ten have are accepted as main avatarams.Hence mohini is also an avataaram of
lord though taken for a short duration .
