Explanation

During the Sagar Manthan (churning of the cosmic ocean), Dhanvantari emerged from the ocean holding a pot of amrita (nectar of immortality). He is considered the physician of the gods and the originator of Ayurveda in Hindu tradition. Other figures like Laxmi and Mohini also emerged, but with different purposes - Laxmi as the goddess of wealth and Mohini to distribute the amrita among the gods.
