Dear list members, Firstly thank you to Dominik Haas who found a reference in a modern womans travel journal to India. Other than that I was extremely surprised that I couldn't find any mantras in any written sources to Dhanvantari. I searched GRETIL, the Muktabodha digital library, and the Kyoto Archive of Sanskrit Texts (Michio Yano and colleagues) . There were lots of references to dhanvantarI (dhanvantarir uvAca etc.) but as far as I could see no mantras to him (of course its possible I missed them).
Any supposition about why these are so rare (non-existent?) in written sources but all over the internet. In ayurveda is it other deities that are used in healing mantras? Or even better if the ayurvedic experts could point me to any mantras to dhanvantari (or other deities) used in healing.
