    1. Amṛtadeva (No. 37, L. 6; L. 14):

    The first part is Amṛta and the second is ‘deva’. The term can

    mean ‘the god Amṛtā’ which is the name of Lord Viṣṇu or

    we may call him ‘the god of nectar’ (Amṛtasya deva). It may

    also be explained as “Whose Lord is the nectar” or

    amṛtam devo'sya. He was an inhabitant of Ayodhyā.
