Amba
Definition - What does Amba mean?
Amba is a Sanskrit word meaning “mother.” It is also one of the more popular names of the Hindu goddess Druga, particularly in western India. As Druga, she is frequently referred to as Amba Bhavani and represents shakti, the feminine divine energy.
In the "Mahabharata," the epic Hindu poem, Amba is the eldest of three daughters of the king of Kashi. All three were abducted by Kuru prince Bhishma, who learns of Amba's desire to marry King Salva and frees her, but Salva rejects her. She blames Bhishma and vows revenge. She reincarnates as Shikhandi, who engages Bhishma in a battle that eventually leads to his death.
