Sripada Srivallabha thvam sadaiva,
Sri dathaasmanpahi devadhi deva,
Bhava grahya klesa haarin Sukirthe,
Ghorath kashta duddarasman namasthe.

Papam Thapam Vyadhimaadhim cha dainyam,
Bhithim klesham thvam haraasu thva danyam
Trathaaram no veekshya ishaastha jurthe,
Ghorath kashta duddarasman namasthe.
Naanya sthratha naa api dhathaa na bhartha,
Twattho deva thwam sharanyoka hartha,
Kurva Athreya anugraham purnarathe,
Ghorath kashta duddarasman namasthe.
Dharme prithim sanmathim deva bhakthim,
Satsangapthim dehi bhukthim cha mukthim,
Bhava sakthim cha akhilananda murthe,
Ghorath kashta duddarasman namasthe.

Sa Sri Dhattha priyo bhaveth.

Shri Dattatreya is a very ancient incarnation, highly venerated through the ages.
Dattatreya – a Universal Guru manifested in the recess of time of ‘Kaliyug’, when humanity had gone far from its pristine state and steeped into threshold of a time when all kinds of vices had already taken root, and the pious souls made fervent appealed for the salvage of the mankind surging forward in manifold way.
He had descended on this earth to establish ‘Satya‘ (the Universal Truth), ‘Rta’ (the Cosmic Order), Dharma‘, (the perennial principles), in all its entirety.
