Devanagari: अमृत ISO15919: amr̥ta
Commonly used for ambrosia, the literal translation of amrit is "no death". There are many types of amrit:
- In Ayurveda, milk is called amrit.
- In the celestial abodes, svarga, there is a liquid called amrit (translated to ambrosia in English). By drinking it, one is freed from physical suffering like fever, hunger, and so on. However, after some time, its effect fades away. That is why celestial beings, devatas, also die.
- God is also called amrit for He never dies.
- Bhakti, being god-like and eternal, is also called amrit.
