Re: OT: Is Amrita an Indian name?

I've only encountered it as the name of a web page templating system
which uses the Ruby programming language (and which doesn't seem to
have a FAQ indicating the source of the name).  A web search reveals
that it is also a tantric term for female ejaculate (gotta love that
tantric stuff), so it probably is Indic in origin.
