The incident of Sri Dattatreya discoursing to Prahlada further proves this fact. From Suta Samhita, one can know that Datta Avatara first occurred in Krta Yuga – vaishAkha bahuLa dashami – Thursday – Revati Nakshatra mIna lagna. It was at this stage that the trinity tested anasuya. Pleased with the penance of the sage, he granted (datta) himself to Atri and came to me known as Dattatreya. He again appeared to Sri Atri on kArtika bahuLa pADyami as Atrivarada. The Parabrahman appeared as yogirAja in front of Atri Maharshi who was performing penance on RkSha Parvata on kArtika shuddha pourNami. There are other incidents described in the Puranas regarding Dattatreya Avatara. When a Sadhaka weds the mental state called anasUyA, Tamas and Rajas are pre-dominated by Sattva which in turn leads the Sadhaka to the Nirvana Shakti called Datta. The birth of Datta consciousness is possible only in such an Upasaka who has gained anasUyatva. Freedom from asUyA thus means total freedom from the kAma, krodha etc. MAtsaryaM ShaShThamityAhuH paishunyaM saptamam tathA |ĪsUyA tvaShTamI j~neyA ityetA aShTamAtaraH ||ĪsUyA or jealousy represents the cumulative effect of the first seven on a human being. KAmakrodhastathA lobho mado mohashcha pa~nchamaH | Without understanding the Tattva behind this incident, if some preach nudity as a requirement for Dattatreya Upasana, it is not quite surprising!
The trinity seeks Bhiksha from Anasuya in NirvAna and she turns them into babies and feeds them in Nirvana. The above truth has been expressed as yet another Puranic story.
#Sri dattatreya vajra kavacham free
When there is none but the Self, where is the second entity one can be jealous of? Thus, the state of anasUya actually indicates the Jivatman who is free from Maya. Now, when can one be totally devoid of asUyA? Only when the realization that the Self is the only existent truth – dawns on the Sadhaka. His wife Anasuya represents freedom from jealousy and which is the state of mind of the Sadhaka – here called Atri. Thus, Atri represents a great Sadhaka who is beyond the three attributes. It is also indicative of the Bhedana of the three Granthis – Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra – indicating the ascension of Kundalini. The fact that he is free from Tapatrayas is also indicative of his being free from the covers of the three Gunas (Satva, Rajas and Tamas). AdhyAtmikAdi tApatrayarahitattvena atrishabdavAchyo jIvanmukto kashchinmaharShiH – Atri refers to a liberated one who is free from the Tapatrayas. If, in this light the Puranas are studied, the stories told therein take a whole new dimension.Ītri means – a+tri – one without the three i.e. The primary purpose of the Puranas is to teach the essence of Vedanta to those who cannot perceive the lofty truth directly. We generally read Purnas superficially without understanding the inner essence of the stories told therein. Sri Dattatreya is described as the son of Atri and Anasuya in the Puranas.
