古代サンスクリット語の著作『ヴィシュヌダラモッタラ(Vishnudharamottara)』によると、ダヌヴァンタリは美男子で、通常4本の手を持ち、そのうちの1本は不老不死の霊薬であるアムリタを持っていると描かれている。
According to the ancient [[Sanskrit]] work ''Vishnudharamottara'', Dhanvantari is a handsome individual and should usually be depicted with four hands, with one of them carrying [[amrita]], the elixir of immortality. Dhanvantari is depicted in a stark resemblance to Vishnu, with four hands, holding the [[Shankha]], [[Chakra]], Jalauka (leech), and a pot containing amrita. He is often shown with a leech in his hand rather than the scriptures.
