When King Kaartaveeryaarjuna started behaving in arrogant manner, and had a clash with Jamadagni rishi, he met his end in the hands of Sage Parasuraama - the Incarnation of Lord Vishnu, and a devotee of Shri Dattatreya as per the boon. Kaartaveeryaarjuna also had a boon that he can be defeated and killed only by a disciple/ devotee of Shri Dattatreya. Additionally, Shri Datta blessed him with a treasury that will never become empty, and also a boon that whosoever remembers the King Kaartaveeryaarjunaa will be able to retrieve lost property and realize rightful properties snatched away from them by force. In fact, Shri Kaartaveeryaarjuna was born without limbs as an infant, and it was by the power of Tapasya focussed on Shri DattatrEyaa that he got 1000 pairs of hands and a mighty physique. The most famous devotees of Shri DattarEyaa are Sage Parasuraama ( Shri Dattatreya helped Sage Parasuraamaa in performing the last rites of his father and ensured that the deceased sages attained PUnya Lokhaas), and Shri Kaartaveeryaarjunaa ( The Mighty King with One thousand shoulders! who was an Incarnation of Sudarshana - the Holy Disc of Lord Vishnu). Many are the miracles of Shri DattatrEyaa right from His times to the current periods. Datta Gitaa is a philosophical work of wonderful metaphysical depth and beauty. Though Anusuyaa Devi wanted Dattatreya to live the life of a householder, He rejected those pleas and instead chose to live in the ways of a Avadhootaa ( a complete renunciate - who transcends all sorts of differences and restrictions, and living in the High State of Spontaneous Living called "SwEchaachaaryaa" saints who live that do what they feel like doing at that moment naturally.they do not follow any rigid rules or regulations in life - allowing Divinity to guide them each and every moment in the form of random thoughts that arise in their conscious!).
Thus was born Shri DattatrEyaa - "Datta AatrEyaa - One who was given as Gift to Shri Atri maharishi and His wife." The couple agreed but requested that they should have a Divine Child with the potency of the three murthis. The three Devis visited the hermitage and beseeched the couple to return their husbands in their original Divine Forms.
Sage Atri, of course, could Divine the events by His clairvoyance powers. When Sage Atri returned to the hermitage, Anusuyaa Devi showed the three Divine Infants and explained the course of events. Obviously, there can be no reservation in being nude in front of infants! She fed them in that condition and thus satisfied the conditions of modesty as well as athithi bhojana (feeding guests). They got transformed into three infants by the power of her pious devotion to her husband. She meditated on her husband and sprinkled Holy Water from his kamandal (a sort of water container kept by sages) on the three mendicants. But, at the same time, as a pious and modest wife of a sage, she cannot even think of being nude in front of grown up strangers. The mendicants imposed the condition that they will partake meals only on one condition that Anusuyaa should serve them stark naked!Īnusuyaa Devi was in a moral fix.According to customs of those times in hermitages (even normal households for that matter!), an athithi was never to be turned away without feeding him. Sages Anusuya offered them the traditional respects due to athithis, and requested them to partake meals in the hermitage. The Trimurti's took the form of mendicants and went as athithis to the hermitage of Sage Atri when He was not there. The Goddesses requested the Trimurthies to test her virtues. Sage Naarada was extolling Her virtues to Goddesses Saraswathy, Lakshmi, and Parvathi.
The wife of Sage Atri was known for Her Piety and virtues. He is a Divine Form who can be easily pleased by mere remembrance of Him ("smarana maatra santushtaaya!") He is an Aadi Guru of the avadhoota sampradaaya.
Shri Guru Dattatreya is an incarnation possessing the Divine attributes of the Trimurtis (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva) with Sage Atri and the sage's Wife Anusuyaa Devi as His parents.
