SUMMARY (1): Sri Narayana, who purifies the heart and mind of the righteous, wore a charming infant’s form called Datta after the pure-hearted wife of Sage Atri, AnasUya, appealed to him with great devotion. (Incarnation of Dattatreya)

SUMMERY (2): When the sages and Rishis shed their jealousy, inculcated pure knowledge and offered prayers with blemishless, unsuspicious and coherent devotion, eternal God Sri Narayana wore the form of Kumara to grant salvation and ultimate realisation to the righteous.

The word Anasuya is essentially the name of the wife of Sage Atri, whose son transformed into Dattatreya, following an appeal by Anasuya. Anasuya can be divided as ‘an+asuya’ which means ‘without jealosy’, which is one of the essential traits to be inculcated by sages for attaining salvation.

There is a misconception, according to scholars, that the form of Sri Dattatreya is a testimony for the fact that Sri Vishnu, Sri Brahma and Sri Maheshwara are one and the same. Dattatreya is a complete incarnation of Sri Vishnu, which, in spiritual parlor, is known as Yogapravartaka form. The purpose of theincarnations of Sri Dattatreya as well as Sri Kumara, which is manifested in Sanatkumara and others, is the promotion of spirituality and spiritual knowledge, culture and tradition. Sage Atri had two more sons namely Moon and Durvasa. In the Moon, a portion of the spiritual attributes of Lord Brahma are said to be existing. Sage Durvasa is an incarnation of Lord Rudra.

In Bharata Tatparya Nirnaya the following stanza clarifies or confirms the above interpretation:

The forms of Rishabha and Hamsa will be described in the next stanza/episode.
