| Anasuya gave
back Kausika's life. The whole world heaved a sigh of relief Then the gods came to Anasuya and asked, "Mother, we want to show our
gratitude to you. How can we show it?
Anasuya turned to her husband.
Rishi Atri said, "All three of you, gods Brahma,
Vishnu and Siva, may please be born to us as our children!"
Accordingly, Brahma was born to them as the Moon, Vishnu as
Dattatreya, and Siva as Rishi Durvasa.
The Moon went to heaven. Durvasa roamed over the earth.
Dattatreya jumped into a lake and lived in the water for a hundred years, doing tapas. He
became great rishi. |
