Dhanvantari-Trayodaśī or Dhanvantari-Jayantī

[Nityanand Misra]

Namo Vaḥ

Is there any mention of Dhanvantari-Trayodaśī or Dhanvantari-Jayantī in any ancient or medieval Sanskrit text? Is Dhanvantari associated anywhere in Sanskrit texts with the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight of Kārttika (by pūrṇimānta reckoning) or Āśvina (by amānta reckoning)?

नमो वः

धन्वन्तरि-त्रयोदशी अथवा धन्वन्तरि-जयन्ती का क्या किसी भी प्राचीन अथवा मध्यकालीन ग्रन्थ में उल्लेख है? क्या संस्कृत वाङ्मय में कहीं भी धन्वन्तरि का कार्त्तिक (पूर्णिमान्त-गणना) अथवा आश्विन (अमान्त-गणना) वद तेरस से सम्बन्ध बताया गया है?

[Yasoda Jivan Dasa]

Respected Nityananda Misraji,

The following verses could help you something:

sūta uvāca |
airāvatastato jajñe tathaivoccaiḥśravā hayaḥ |
dhanvaṃtariḥ pārijātaḥ surabhiścāpsarodayaḥ || 1 ||

tataḥ prabhātasamaye dvādaśyāmudite ravau |
utpannā śrīrmahālakṣmīḥ sarvalakṣaṇaśobhitā || 2 ||

Then Airāvata sprang up (from the ocean), so also the horse Uccaiḥśravas. Then (sprang up) Dhanvantari, and the fragrant Pārijāta. So also there was the rise of the celestial nymphs. Then on the twelfth day in the morning, when the sun had risen, the great Lakṣmī, graced with all (auspicious) characteristics, sprang up.  (Padma Purana Brahma-khaṇḍa 4.10.1–2)

InSIS NATIONAL SEMINAR 2026

The Philosophy, Science, and Spirituality of Oneness

Perspectives from Ancient Wisdom (Jainism, Buddhism, and Vedānta) and Contemporary Research

17–19 December 2026

Satyawati College, University of Delhi, New Delhi

Presentations in person and online

Call for Abstracts and Full Papers

Sub-theme — Jain Studies, Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhraṃśa

What can Jain philosophy contribute to a dialogue on oneness that takes plurality seriously?

Anekāntavāda and syādvāda offer ways to examine the many-sidedness of reality and the limits of any single standpoint. Ahiṃsā and aparigraha bring questions of non-violence, restraint and responsibility into contemporary debates on ethical living. The seminar invites scholars to explore these questions through Jain philosophical and literary texts, manuscript research and comparative inquiry.

Suggested research areas

·        Jain philosophy and contemporary inquiry — Anekāntavāda, syādvāda, consciousness, non-violence, ecology, education and the ethics of AI.

·        Sanskrit and Prakrit textual studies — Jain Āgamas, Sanskrit philosophical works and commentaries, grammar, narrative literature, translation and interpretation.

·        Apabhraṃśa language and literature — Jain literary traditions, philosophical expression, linguistic development and connections with modern Indian languages.

·        Manuscripts and digital humanities — Manuscript description, textual criticism, critical editions, digitisation and access to Jain textual heritage.

·        Comparative philosophy — Jain, Buddhist and Vedāntic perspectives on unity, plurality and interdependence, with attention to the distinct premises of each tradition.

We especially welcome early-career researchers, manuscript scholars and contributors working directly with original texts.

Submission deadlines

·                  Abstracts — 10 November 2026

·                  Full papers — 20 November 2026
