Dattatreya / दत्तात्रेय

• Dattatreya was a son of Attri by his wife Anusuya.
• He was the son of Atri, hence the name "Atreya."
• He is considered to be one of the twenty-four incarnations of Vishnu.
• He was the patron of Kartvirya, and granted him four boons.
• Once Ravan went to the hermitage of Dattatrey and stole the water-pot which Dattatrey had purified with Mantras. On knowing this Dattatrey cursed him that his head would be trampled on by monkeys. Dattatrey had a son named Nimi.
