śrī dhanvantaryaṣṭottaraśatanāma stotram

A hundred and eight names in thirty-one verses, and nearly all of them come out of the churning of the ocean. He is the lord prayed to by gods in terror of age and death; the one for whom Anjaneya carried the mountain, with Vinata's son standing at his side; the sinking Mandara and the tortoise that took its weight; the glance that steadied Vasuki; the reconciler of gods and demons at each other's throats over the nectar. A run in the middle turns to his body from the ears down, giving him every mark the science of signs looks for. Near the end come the appearance as Mohini that bewildered even Shiva, and the circle of the wives of the guardians of the quarters. The same names stand here in salutation form as well.
