SVS 125 [Amrutha-120] ( 13.6)

120. OM AMRUTHAYA NAMA: ॐ अम्रुताय नम:
For the devotees, He is ever fresh Nectar.

We are in Thuvariman village, near Madurai on the route to Dindugal. Here, as a rare sight the Lord Ranganatha is in standing pose, with Sri Sridevi and Sri Bhudevi. Like Srirangam, this place is between two rivers Kritamala and Vaigai. Temple is 600 years old. The nectar of heavens could be poison if taken too much. But the Lord as Amrut or nectar, will never be stale even if worshiped any number times. Apari amrut means unlimited nectar. One is not satisfied with a single darshan. Gopikas cry that because they were humans they had to wink their eyes, which means they lose His darshan for that time! Alwar wants to worship the Lord like the heavenly persons who do not wink their eyes. Chanting His names we find sweetness in our mouth. So He is Aravamudhan. Parikshit preferred to listen to the amrut of the stories of the Lord, to the nectar, capable of extending life.
