amrit (Devanagari: अमृत ISO15919: amr̥ta) is commonly used for ambrosia.

Literal translation of amrit is no-death.

There are many types of amrit

  • In Ayurveda milk is called amrit.
  • In svarga lok there is a liquid called amrit (translated to ambrosia in English). By drinking that liquid one becomes free of physical suffering like fever, hunger. After, some time the effect of this amrit fades away. That is why devatas also die.
  • God is amrit for He never dies.
  • Bhakti is God-like and eternal. So it is also called amrit.
