Salutations to him, Lord Dhanvantari, who is holding in his four hands a Conch, a Disc .a Leech and a pot of celestial ambrosia
in whose heart shines a very clear, gentle and pleasing blaze of light, which also shines all around HIS head and lotus eyes.
On the dark blue/black water his body is luminous and splendid.
His waist and thighs are covered in yellow cloth and who by his mere play destroys all diseases like a huge forest fire.

Tanno Lakshmihi prachodayat
Om. Let us meditate on the Great Goddess Sri Lakshmi, the consort of Sri Maha Vishnu. May that effulgent Maha Lakshmi Devi inspire and illumine our mind and understanding.
