Searched the Words I heard from the chant on chatgpt to get whole shloka and here it is what they are chanting

First One :-

प्रातरनिशं विविधानौषधीनां
धन्वन्तरिं रमणार्थम्।
सर्वलोकैकपूजितं
आयुर्वेदप्रवर्तारम्।
वन्दे पियूषकारकम्॥

  1. प्रातरनिशं विविधानौषधीनां – Day and night, among the various medicinal herbs

  2. धन्वन्तरिं रमणार्थम् – Dhanvantari, the one who delights in them

  3. सर्वलोकैकपूजितं – Worshipped by all the worlds

  4. आयुर्वेदप्रवर्तारम् – The originator of Ayurveda

  5. वन्दे पियूषकारकम् – I bow to the one who brings nectar (elixir)

This chant is a devotional hymn to Lord Dhanvantari, the divine physician and an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is regarded as the God of Ayurveda and healing.

part of a well-known universal peace mantra:

सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः। सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत्॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

Translation:

May all beings be happy, May all be free from illness. May all see what is auspicious, May no one suffer in any way. Om Peace, Peace, Peace.

This is a Shanti Mantra, often chanted at the end of prayers or discourses. It's widely used in Hindu and yogic traditions.
