Amerta
literally means "immortality" and is often referred to in ancient Indian texts as a nectar. Its first occurrence is in the Rigveda, where it is considered one of several synonyms for soma, the drink of the Devas (gods). Amrita plays a significant role in the Samudra manthan, and is the cause of the conflict between Devas and Asuras competing for amrita to obtain immortality.
