Jai Sriman Narayana !!
Dattathreya Jayanthi
commemorates the personification of Trinities such as Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu
and Lord Shiva as Lord Dattathreya.
Sage Atri, one of the
Saptha Rishi’s and son of Lord Brahma was led a peaceful life with his chaste
wife Anasuya who was the ultimate paradigm for impeccable wife. Once,
Maharishi Narada visited the Abode of Lords and narrated the chastity of
Anasuya to Goddesses Sri Parvati, Sri Saraswathy and Sri Mahalakshmi.
After listening to Maharishi Narada, the three Goddesses decided to
conduct a test on the faultlessness of Anasuya. As planned earlier,
Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva was sent to the hermitage of Sage Atri on
Earth. The Trinities were received with great reverence and earnestly
prayed her guests to accept feast in their hermitage. Trinities were
revealed their thought in unison that Anasuya should serve them with no clothes
on her body. Anasuya was very composed after listening to the
demand of the trinities, with the power of mind and chastity she had already
found a solution for this matter. Anasuya took a handful of water from
the vessel of Sage Atri and sprinkled on her guests. Instantaneously, the
trinities were turned into infant and began weeping loudly. Soon, Anasuya
picked up the three children and cradled them with lots of love and affection,
and named the children Soma, Datta and Durvassa respectively. This
incident created lots of turmoil in the Abode of Lords, they all worried about
that the Universe would come to standstill in the absence of trinities to
perform their responsibilities. The three Goddesses appealed to Anasuya
and requested for forgiveness. Once again the three babies were turned
into trinities and left their particles with Anasuya. The trinities
returned to their Abodes and reoccupied with their responsibilities of
Creation, Preservation and Destruction respectively. Soma and Durvassa
left for penance after leaving their elements with Datta. Thus
Dattathreya became the personification of the trinities.
