ダヌヴァンタリ（Dhanvantari）はヒンドゥー教の医薬神で、ヴィシュヌ神のアバターである。プラーナ文献ではアーユルヴェーダの神として登場する[1]。地上に降り立った彼は、カシ（現在ではバラナシと呼ばれる）の王として君臨していた。特にダンテラス（Dhanteras）[2]や全国アーユルヴェーダデー（Dhanvantari Trayodashi）には、自分自身や他人の健康を祈願するため、ダヌヴァンタリに祈りを捧げる者がいる[3]。


Dhanvantari is the Hindu god of medicine and an avatar of Lord Vishnu. He is mentioned in the Puranas as the god of Ayurveda.[4] During his incarnation on earth, he reigned as the King of Kashi, today locally referred to as Varanasi. Devotees pray to Dhanvantari to seek his blessings for sound health for themselves and/or others, especially on Dhanteras or Dhanvantari Trayodashi ("National Ayurveda Day").[5] Dhanvantari is also identified as the great-grandfather of Divodasa, a mythological King of Kashi in the Vishnu Purana.[6][7]

Mythology

Origin

The Bala Kanda of the Ramayana[8] and Bhagavata Purana state that Dhanvantari emerged from the Ocean of Milk and appeared with the pot of amrita (elixir of immortality) during the Samudra Mathana, whilst the ocean was being churned by the devas and the asuras, using the Mandara mountain and the serpent Vasuki. The pot of amrita was snatched by the asuras, and after this event, Vishnu's avatar, Mohini, appears and takes the nectar back from the asuras. It is also believed that Dhanvantari promulgated the practice of Ayurveda.[9] Of special mention here is the treatise of Dhanvantari-Nighantu, which completely elucidates Dhanvantari's medicinal plants.[10]

The Brahmanda Purana describes the origin of the physician deity:[11] テンプレート:Blockquote

Incarnation

During the second Dvapara Yuga, the King of Kashi, Dirghatapas, propitiated the physician deity for the birth of a son. The deity agreed to incarnate himself as the desired child as a boon. Dhanavantri proved to be a great king, and is described as the "dispeller of all ailments". He is described to have been exempt from infirmities and recognised as a "master of universal knowledge".[7] The sage Bharadvaja educated him regarding the therapeutic practice of Ayurveda, and further caused him to study medicine. The king created a classification of his knowledge of medicine into eight fields and disseminated it to a number of diverse disciples.[12]

Dhanvantari and Manasadevi

According to the Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Dhanvantari, accompanied by his disciples, once journeyed to Kailasha. On the way, a 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 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.[13]

Iconography

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.

Some texts describe him as holding a conch, amrita, medicinal herbs, and a book of Ayurveda.
