Panchamrita

Panchamrita

Panchamrita (Sanskrit: "IAST|pañcāmṛta") generally refers to a collection of five sweet things used in Hindu worship services. [For definition of _sa. पञ्चामृत (IAST: "IAST|pañcāmṛta" ) as "the collection of five sweet things used in worshipping deities" see: Harvnb|Apte|1965|p=578.] It is a Sanskrit compound of two words.

*Pancha (Sanskrit: "IAST|Pañca") means "five". [Apte notes that as the first member of a compound, the word _sa. पञ्चन् ("five") drops its final _sa. न्; nominative form is _sa. पञ्च. See: Harvnb|Apte|p=578.]

*Amrita (Sanskrit: "IAST|Amṛta") is the nectar of immortality, a substance consumed by deities. [For definition of _sa. अमृत ("IAST|amṛta") adjectivally as "not dead" and nominally as "Nectar of immortality, ambrosia, beverage of the gods", see: Harvnb|Apte|1965|p=138]
