About the Name "Savitar"

Savitar is a Vedic god from Hindu mythology. It is said that Savitar is another personification of the sun. His name means the "Inspirer," and is derived from the root sa -- to drive or stimulate. As the sun-god he is spoken of as the golden-eyed, golden-tongued, and golden-handed.

It is also written of Savitar: "Whatever moves or acts is dependent on this deity with golden eyes, golden hands, and golden tongues."

Thus, we have the name "Savitar" - an inspired telnet application that handles motion and action within the Internet's many online worlds.
