Amrita (Buddhist tradition)

In the context of ancient Indian texts, including the Rigveda, Amrita is mentioned alongside soma, another divine drink. It plays a significant role in the Samudra Manthana myth.

There is no description of Amrita's physical appearance in the provided sources. It is described as an elixir, but its form is not specified.

Amrita is associated with granting immortality and eternal life. In the context of the Samudra Manthana, it is a central factor causing conflict between devas (gods) and asuras (anti-gods) who seek to obtain it.
