ଶ୍ରୀ ଧନ୍ଵନ୍ତର୍ଯଷ୍ଟୋତ୍ତରଶତନାମାଵଲୀ

The salutation form of the hundred and eight names of Dhanvantari that also stand in this corpus as a stotra in verse. Laid out one to a line, the shape of the list is easier to follow: it opens on the pot brimming with nectar in his hand, moves through the whole of the churning — Mandara sinking, the tortoise beneath it, Vasuki calmed by a sidelong look — then works down the body from the broad ears and the deep navel to the toes marked with the signs and the feet reddened with lac, and closes among the gods, mounted on Garuda, worshipped by Indra and Agni, saluted by Shachi and Svaha, his greatness knowable only through the end of the Veda. The last names call him the one protector of all the worlds.
