dattatreya - reg.

[Guest guest]

Namaste ramji,

& nbsp;

You have mentioned the name Dattatreya. & nbsp; This reminds me of the words of

grandfather and my paramaguru who came from datta lineage.

& nbsp;

Is the authorship of Dattatreya Samhita ascribed to the son of atri and anasuya?

Dear srinivas,

 

From what i have learnt from elders is that by the name dattatreya

there are 2 personalities. One is the son of atri and anasuya. The

other is a wonderful historic person who authored Dattatreya Tantra.

This 2nd dattatreya belonged to Kaula and Vama School. So, i am not

sure whether it is this dattatreya who initiated Parasurama into

Srividya and Tripura Rahasya.

 

Morever, by the name Hayagriya, there is one more sage by the same

name who lived in Kanchipuram. Probably this Hayagriya was guru of

Agstya. My grandfather told me that horse-headed incarnation of

vishnu and Sage Hayagriya both are not same. And it is the sage who

initiated the srividya to Agastya. But there is no sastra pramana to

this statement.

 

With regards,

sriram
