"Namami Dhanvantari Aadi Devam, Surasura Vandit Paada Padmam,
Loke Jara Rugbhay Mrityu Naasham, Daataaram Eesham Vividhaushadhinaam"
I bow to Bhagwan Dhanvantari, the Lotus-footed one at whose feet all the Asuras and Devas offer prayers for a long life. May your drugs help the world overcome its age, its dread of dying, and its many illnesses.
The iconography of this Lord Dhanvantri statue from Mahabalipuram, South India is striking and captivating. Carved out of black stone, the intricate details and craftsmanship shine through. The use of white paint to highlight the attire, ornamentation, and features enhances the overall visual impact. Lord Dhanvantri is depicted holding the shankha and chakra in his upper hands, symbolizing his divine powers.
In his lower hands, he holds a pot of elixir, representing healing and rejuvenation, along with a medicinal plant, symbolizing his association with Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. The combination of these elements portrays Lord Dhanvantri as a powerful deity associated with health, well-being, and the divine source of healing.
