Paanch Amrut

Paanch Amrut
(Five Nectars of Immortality)
by Haldhar Nag
LanguageSambalpuri

Paanch Amrut[1] 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[2] and in the Haldhar Nag Selected Poems.[3] It is also the first poem in Kavyanjali.

The "five nectars of immortality" in the poem refer to the seven seas[note 1], the moon in the skies, mother's breast, noble principles, and the poet's scribbles.

  • In 2019, Haldhar Nag recited his poems Five Nectars of Immortality and A Letter to Poet Haldhar in the documentary Virtual Bharat (Q135580525).[4][5]
  • The Indian writer and film director Gulzar's book A Poem A Day (ISBN 9789353575908) also includes two of Haldhar Nag's poems, Panch Amrut and Kabi Haldhar ke Chithhi.[6][7] Translated into English by Durga Prasad Panda, it differs from the version translated by Surendra Nath.
