FAQs
It refers to the Samudra-manthana (churning of the ocean), from which amṛta (nectar of immortality) is produced.
The verse states that by drinking the nectar, the recipients become balinaḥ (strong) and amarāḥ (immortal/deathless).
It frames immortality and divine strength as the fruit of a difficult, collective endeavor (the churning), implying that higher attainments arise from sustained effort and cooperation.
