पाठ · Text

॥ श्री धन्वन्तरये नमः ॥
धनतेरस कथा — मौलिक पुनर्प्रस्तुति।

दीपावली से दो दिन पहले धनतेरस — आयुर्वेद के आदि देव धन्वंतरि और लक्ष्मी–कुबेर का स्मरण।

समुद्र मंथन स्मृति में धन्वंतरि अमृत कलश लेकर प्रकट होते हैं — स्वास्थ्य ही पहला धन।

घर में दीप, हल्दी–औषधि/बर्तन खरीद की परंपरा है; दिखावे का ऋण धर्म नहीं।

कथा का फल: शरीर और बजट दोनों की रक्षा।

॥ जय धन्वंतरि ॥ जय लक्ष्मी ॥
