Amartyapati (अमर्त्यपति) refers to the “Lord of the Gods�, according to the 15th century ٲṅgī composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 1, “on the origin of elephants”]: �21. The creation of elephants (as told in the following) was holy, and for the profit of sacrifice to the Gods, and especially for the welfare of kings. Therefore it is clear that elephants must be zealously tended. [...] 25. Durvasas respectfully gave the Lord of the Gods (amartyapati) a marvelous garland. It was crushed by Airāvata, which seeing the sage mercilessly cursed him. By his curse he was destroyed, and then was (re-) born (as) the mate of Abhramu in the ocean when it was churned (by Indra) to win him back and to win complete supremacy. Hence he is reputed to be born of the milk ocean�.
