Origin & Story

Proclaimed by the sage Narada (Narada-krita Dattatreya Stotram); transmitted in the Puranic and Datta-sampradaya tradition · Sage Narada (as stated in the closing verse) · Ancient (Puranic)

Lord Dattatreya was born to the great sage Atri and his pativrata wife Anasuya as the union of the three supreme gods — Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva — who came to test and then bless her devotion. He grew into the ideal avadhuta and Adi Guru, wandering naked and free, begging his food, established in the bliss of Brahman. This stotra, sung by the celestial sage Narada by the grace of Datta himself, gathers his glories — his ash-smeared ascetic form with trident and begging bowl, his identity as the Trimurti, and his power to heal disease and grant liberation — and closes by declaring that it bestows the very vision of the Lord.

✦ As told in scripture

Lord Dattatreya is praised as 'Sarva-roga-hara', the remover of all diseases, and the Datta tradition abounds with accounts — gathered in texts such as the Guru Charitra — of the chronically ill, the possessed and the despairing being cured and uplifted at his shrines. The closing verse itself promises that this divine hymn is 'Datta-pratyaksha-karaka' — it brings about the direct, living vision of Dattatreya for the sincere devotee.

Best TimeThursdays (Guruvar), Datta Jayanti (Margashirsha Purnima), and at dawn or dusk

Sit facing east before an image of Lord Dattatreya, ideally after a bath. Light a lamp and incense. Begin with the dhyana verse 'Jatadharam Pandurangam', then recite the eighteen verses with devotion, sounding the refrain 'Dattatreya Namostu Te' at the close of each. Recitation on Thursdays and especially on Datta Jayanti is held to be most fruitful; many devotees recite it daily as a guru-prayer for health, protection and spiritual guidance.

Dattatreya is a revered deity worshipped as the combined incarnation of the Trimurti — Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva — born to the sage Atri and his devoted wife Anasuya. He is honoured as the Adi Guru (primal teacher) and the supreme avadhuta, an ascetic established in the bliss of Brahman.

This stotram, beginning 'Jatadharam Pandurangam', was proclaimed by the divine sage Narada, as stated in its final verse, and is preserved in the Puranic tradition. It is therefore often called the Narada-krita Dattatreya Stotram.

The hymn itself declares that it removes all diseases, destroys enemies, quells all sins, and bestows knowledge and realisation. It is also said to grant the direct vision of Lord Dattatreya and to free the devotee from the bonds of worldly existence.

It is most auspicious on Thursdays (Guruvar), the day of the Guru, and on Datta Jayanti (the full moon of Margashirsha). Many devotees recite it daily, morning or evening, as a prayer to the Guru for protection, health and guidance.
