PS here is perhaps a better version from a manuscript at BORI, reading

Dear Harry,
Here is a maṅgalaśloka from the /Lakṣmaṇotsava/ (1450 CE, according to
the NCC) in upajāti metre that might fit the description of what
you're looking for. I don't know if the text has been edited; this is
the incipit of manuscript Sanscrit 1228 from the Palmyr Cordier
collection at the national library of France, copied in 1899 from a
manuscript at the Sanskrit College of Benares (photo attached). See
lines 6-7:
namo stu dhanvaṃtaraye samastajarāparāṃtaṃ katamas savitre ||
divyāṃganāsaṃgatayauvanaśrīsaṃpattidāyāmṛtasādhanā yaṃ || 3 ||
Maybe it should read samstajvarā* in line 1? But that messes up the metre.
Best,
Charles

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.
Thanks again,
Harry Spier

Dear list members,
I was asked to find gayatrī mantras to the god of healing
Dhanvantari (but with a source). I'm able to find lots of mantras
(including gayatrī mantras) on youtube and the internet but they
don't give a source.
Ideally would be a gayatri mantra with a scriptural source (some
ayurvedic text?) but acceptable would be some modern book
collection of mantras etc. And even some shloka or non-gayatri
mantra in a text asking for healing from Dhanvantari would also
be acceptable.
Thanks,
Harry Spier
