Piece of cake!

Bhagavato = lord
bhaiṣajya = healing
guru= teacher
vaiḍūrya-prabhasya = of-cat's-eye-gem-master
= of the Lord Medicine Buddha

pūrva = first
praṇidhāna = vow
viśeṣa = specificity
vistāra = enumeration
= enumeration of the specific original vows

= The enumeration of the specific original vows of the Lord Medicine Buddha

My partner Steve and I were very big on भैषज़यराज, the Medicine Buddha, back when he had AIDS in the mid-eighties. Not that it did a damn bit of good.
