**************************************************************** Dear Dinesh, The transliteration would be: *Amitā* By the way, the spelling is incorrect (it spells *Amawatā* at the moment). Regards, Maan Barua **************************************************************** Sorry - just checked - I presume Amawatā is another word but rarely used.
