[INDOLOGY] Dhanvantari gayatrī-mantra with source

[Harry Spier]

Dear list members,
For those who have been following the thread, a mantra to Dhanvantari in a
medieval text has now been found, Thru Dr. Vigneshwar Bhat who suggested to
a colleague that there is a mantra to Dhanvantari in  prapañcasāsaṁgraha,.
thru Elaine Fisher who ocorrectly identified the text as
prapañcasārasārasaṁgraha by Gīrvāṇendra ṣarasvati, and thru Mohan Chettoor
on the Samskrita list who found the mantra on page 778 of   part II of
prapañcasārasārasaṁgraha by Gīrvāṇendra ṣarasvati.
