Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

This person was Dhanvantari, a plenary portion of a plenary portion of Lord Visnu. He was very conversant with the science of medicine, and as one of the demigods he was permitted to take a share in sacrifices.

 

Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 

 

Srila Madhvacarya remarks:

 

tesam satyac calanartham

 harir dhanvantarir vibhuh

samartho ’py asuranam tu

 sva-hastad amucat sudham

 

Dhanvantari, who was carrying the jug containing nectar, was a plenary incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but although he was very strong, the asuras were able to take the jug of nectar from his hands.
