I
Victory to Thee : Son of Atri !
Victory to Thee, Son of Anasuya !
Holiest
offspring of holy damsel
Whose arms rocked the cradles
Of the Almighty Trinity
Changed into
her tiny tots.
II
Core of Vishnu, Rudra and Brahma !
Three-crowned Lord of this universe !
Sitting serene under the holy shade
Of
Audumbar in dark forest glades
Gazing sun-like with a radiant form
Seeing
Thyself, Brahman, in all
Hearing “OM”, the mystic call
Breaking Maya’s adamant wall .
Master of all Masters and Hermits
great !
Yogi of all bare-limbed monks of Mountains !
All Vedas
like hounds of heaven follow Thee :
The
divine cow stands humble behind Thee :
Wisdom bowed before Thy mystic penance
Forests becalmed by Thy holy presence ;
Nature’s secrets and
spiritual laws
Themselves did reveal to Thy sun-bright eyes :
Deep Truths beyond philosophic lore
Beyond
our sense-bound, selfish mortal shore.
IV
Sporting Thyself in various forms and
guise
You test our minds too fickle to surmise
:
May Thou shower Thy boundless grace
Stay before our tottering mental gaze
Set us free from this mighty Maya’s maze :
Lord
of Yogis! Show Thy all merciful gracious form !
Holding
trident, conch and discus in Thy six arms
Along with drum, vessel and rosary sparkling white
To kill our
ignorance with Thy presence bright;
Decked with deer-skin, crystal beads and jasmine wreaths
Scatter rays of wisdom, Thou, Conqueror of Death!
From Thy three-paired lustrous lotus-eyes ;
V
Bless us with a glimpse of Thy holiest form !
That dissolves sins of ten thousand births :
Lifting us from this eternal wheel of illusion :
All is one, before Thy divine stature that
rules the world
Untouched like heavenly rays of many million suns .

Note :
Lord Dattatreya is a
very powerful and unique manifestation of Holy trinity (Brahma, Vishnu and
Shiva) all merged together in one form. Pleased with the chastity and virtues of
Anasuya and her husband Atri Maharshi, the holy trinity granted their wish and became
their son. Anasuya withstood the test of the three gods and by her power
transformed them into children. Later at the request of the wives of Holy
trinity she brought them back to their original forms. The Word "Datta" means "TO give" that is Lord givesor grants boons to those who surrender and pray to him with sincere devotion and faith.
Lord Dattatreya is Para Brahman who is revered as the Lord of all yogas and wisdom. He is shown with three heads (implying Holy Trinity) with six hands wielding Trident (to kill ego), drum (to awaken souls from ignorance), Conch (symbol of sacred sound OM), discus (Flux in universe), Kamandala (water vessel implying pure wisdom) and rosary (implying his counting of devotees who will be liberated). The four dogs represent the four Vedas which follow the Lord, the ultimate Truth. The holy cow is Kamdhenu, which grants all material and spiritual wishes of the devotees. The Audumbara (sacred fig ) tree is the celestial wish-fulfilling tree under whose shade Lord Dattatreya always dwells.
Lord dattatreya is seen doing penance on Sahyadri Mountains and on Gandhamadana Mountains. He is Adi Yogi or the first teacher of spiritual enlightenment and is called Teacher of all spiritual preceptors or Gurus.His Avatara remains eternal throughout all yugas. He descended into this world at different times as holy teachers or sages to uplift mankind and Dharma whenever necessary. He is regarded as a boundless ocean of mercy, spiritual wisdom and power. Just by chanting his name with complete surrender will help devotees receive His grace. Especially in this sin-ridden Kali Yuga the name of Dattatreya will help mankind to gain mastery over their desires and receive wisdom.
