第2次ドヴァーパラ・ユガ（Dvapara Yuga,）の時代、カシの王ディルガタパスは（Dirghatapas）、医薬神に息子の誕生を祈願した。このとき、ダヌヴァンタリは祈願に答えるため、望まれる子供として生まれ変わることを承諾した。ダヌヴァンタリは偉大な王となり、「すべての病気を取り除く者」と呼ばれた。彼は病弱でなく、「普遍的な知識の達人」として認められていたと記述されている<ref name=":0" />。王は聖人バラドバージャからアーユルヴェーダの治療法について教えられ、さらに医学を学ぶようになった。王は医学の知識を8つの分野に分類して作成し、多くの多様な弟子たちに普及させ<ref>www.wisdomlib.org, 2019-06-21, The origin of Dhanvantari [Chapter 67] , https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/the-brahmanda-purana/d/doc362925.html, 2022-08-02, www.wisdomlib.org</ref>。

According to the [[Brahma Vaivarta Purana]], Dhanvantari, accompanied by his disciples, once journeyed to [[Mount Kailash|Kailasha]]. On the way, a [[Nāga|naga]] named Takshaka emitted a venom-spitting hiss. A disciple plucked the diamond upon the head of Takshaka and hurled it towards the earth. Upon learning these events, the powerful serpent-king [[Vasuki]] amassed thousands of serpents under the leadership of Drona, Pundarika, and Dhananjaya against the entourage. The poisonous emissions of all these serpents united to make the disciples of Dhanvantari faint. Immediately, Dhanvantari concocted a medicine made from ''vanaspati'', allowing his followers to recover and causing the snakes to faint in turn. When Vasuki understood what had transpired, he sent a minor [[Shaivism|Shaiva]] serpent goddess, Manasadevi, to face Dhanvantari. Manasadevi sent the disciples of Dhanvantari into a swoon, but since the deity was proficient in the art of ''Vishvavidya'', he soon restored his disciples to consciousness. When Manasadevi deemed it impossible to defeat Dhanvantari or his disciples, she held the [[trishula]] given to her by Shiva and aimed it at Dhanvantari. Seeing this, [[Shiva]] and [[Brahma]] appeared before them and restored the peace, sending them all on their way.<ref>{{Cite web |last=www.wisdomlib.org |date=2019-01-28 |title=Story of Dhanvantari |url=https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/compilation/puranic-encyclopaedia/d/doc241541.html |access-date=2022-08-02 |website=www.wisdomlib.org |language=en}}</ref>
