सत्यं च येन निरतं रोगं विधूतं, अन्वेषितं च सविधिं आरोग्यमस्य।

गूढं  निगूढं  औषध्यरूपम्, धन्वन्तरिं  च  सततं  प्रणमामि नित्यं॥

हिन्दी में अर्थ

जिन्होंने निरंतर समस्त रोगों का नाश किया है, जिन्होंने आरोग्य की विधि का ज्ञान कराया है, जिन्होंने औषधियों के रहस्यों का अनावरण किया है,  उन भगवान धन्वन्तरि को मैं नित्य प्रणाम करता हूँ|

Meaning in English

I regularly offer my salutations to Bhagwan Dhanwantari – the one who has regularly wiped out all diseases, the one who has established the guidelines for maintaining good health and the one who has uncovered the hidden nature of herbs and medicinal plants.

Note: This prayer is offered to Bhagwan Dhanwantari (भगवान धन्वन्तरि) who is said to have appeared during the Samudra Manthan on Dhana Trayodashi (धन त्रयोदशी) or Dhanteras  (धनतेरस) as per tradition. He was said to be holding a pot of amrit (अमृत) or nectar and hence became the presiding deity of Ayurveda (आयुर्वेद) in Indian tradition. Dhanteras is also celebrated as the National Day of Ayurveda in his honour.

Wish your loved ones Happy Diwali in Sanskrit, Hindi and English
