hi vidit, i do not think it is meant to be taken literally - that the amrta that flows out may not be the cerebrospinal fluid. cerebrospinal fluid is toxic, and it is salty and metallic in taste. amrta should be sweet and filling as per the shastras and generally from my perspective and studies, it is a metaphysical thing (just like chakras, they are metaphysical points of energy 'nodes').

uttaramanaya is ardhanariswari and anuttara is anuttara vagvaadini. but actually its all just lalita tripurasundari in different meditative forms

Sir, could you enlighten me as to why the nectar aka the cerebrospinal fluid not be swallowed? Isn't it called amrit and if swallowed would it not allow a sadhaka to live a longer life and attain even more spirtual knowledge and experiences in meditation?

you will realise that in each amnaya in the sri-vidya tradtiion, devi is red with goad and noose etc. thats's because, lalita herself pervades and shines through each amnaya as kamakala. all credits to Her, and all of this information is from sri devi yagna volume 6 album sung by nityashree mahadevan and references of Atmananthada's writings
