Rg Vedam salutes Amrutha Svaroopam of the Lord :

 

amrutham jaatavEdasam tiras tamAmsi darsatham

ghiruthAhavanam Eedyam

 

--Rg Vedam 8.74.5

 

(Meaning): Our Lord ( the antharyAmi of Agni ) is

immortal (amrutham) and all-knowing . He is visible

through the gloom of nescience and is the most worthy

object of our worship with invocations and offerings

accompanied by affectionate reverence.

 

He is the Mrutha Sanjeevanam or resucitaor from

the death of ajn~Anam . He is the insatiable nectar

(aparyAptha Amrutham ) , AarAvamudhan .

 

Swamy ParAsara Bhattar Comments: " tEshAm niravdhika

mAdhuryENa , jarA-maraNa vaaraNEna , Sadha sEvayAmapi

atrupthi-karathvEna vaa AMRUTHA: " ( He is recognized

as AMRUTHA , since He is delectable to His BhakthAs

in a limitless manner or because He chases away

old age and death from them or because the BhakthAs

never get satiated by enjoying His Dhivya MangaLa

Vigraham , while they do nithya Kaimkaryam for Him

at Parama Padham ).
