Paanch Amrut

Paanch Amrut is a poem by Indian poet Haldhar Nag, written in Sambalpuri. It was later translated into English by Surendra Nath as Five Nectars of Immortality, which is included in the Kavyanjali Vol.1 and in the Haldhar Nag Selected Poems. It is also the first poem in Kavyanjali.

The "five nectars of immortality" in the poem refer to the seven seas, the moon in the skies, mother's breast, noble principles, and the poet's scribbles.

In popular culture

  • In 2019, Haldhar Nag recited his poems Five Nectars of Immortality and A Letter to Poet Haldhar in the documentary Virtual Bharat.
