Salutations to him, Lord Dhanvantari, who is holding a conch shell, a disc of energy, a leech, and a pot of celestial ambrosia in his four beautiful hands,

In whose heart shines a subtle, clear, gentle and pleasing blaze of light, that also shines around his head, and who has lotus eyes.

On the dark blue water his body is luminous and splendid. His waist and thighs are abounding in shining bright yellow clothes.

Who, by his mere play, destroys all diseases like a mighty forest fire.
