विषाणि चाभिचाराश्च मृत्योर्द्वाराणि देहिनाम् । पीडितं सर्परोगाद्यैरपि धन्वंतरिः स्वयम्
viṣāṇi cābhicārāśca mṛtyordvārāṇi dehinām | pīḍitaṃ sarparogādyairapi dhanvaṃtariḥ svayam
विष आणि अभिचार—ही देहधाऱ्यांसाठी मृत्यूची दारे आहेत. स्वयं धन्वंतरीही सर्पदंश, रोग इत्यादींनी पीडित झाले होते.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced from Māheśvara-khaṇḍa context)
Scene: Symbolic ‘doors of death’: a threshold marked ‘Viṣa’ and ‘Abhicāra’; a serpent poised to strike; Dhanvantari shown momentarily afflicted yet luminous, emphasizing paradox and wonder.
Even the greatest healer is not immune to affliction; therefore, one should not be complacent but take refuge in dharma and spiritual preparation.
No particular tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
No direct prescription; it identifies dangers (poison, sorcery, bites, diseases) as pathways to death.
