Dattatreya Stotram

जटिलं मुण्डिनं काषायाम्बरवासिनम् । दण्डमण्डलुशूलिनं दत्तात्रेयमहं भजे ॥१॥

jaṭilaṃ muṇḍinaṃ kāṣāyāmbaravāsinam | daṇḍamaṇḍaluśūlinaṃ dattātreyamahaṃ bhaje ||1||

I worship Dattatreya, who wears matted locks and a shaven head, who is clothed in ochre robes, who holds a staff, a water pot, and a trident.

अनसूयासुतं शान्तं ज्ञानदं ब्रह्मचारिणम् । योगिनां प्रवरं देवं दत्तात्रेयमहं भजे ॥२॥

anasūyāsutaṃ śāntaṃ jñānadaṃ brahmacāriṇam | yogināṃ pravaraṃ devaṃ dattātreyamahaṃ bhaje ||2||

I worship Dattatreya, the son of Anasuya, the peaceful one, the giver of knowledge, the celibate, the foremost among yogis, the shining one.

दत्तात्रेय हृदि ध्यायेत् सर्वपापहरं परम् । ब्रह्मज्ञानप्रदं देवं दत्तात्रेयमहं भजे ॥३॥

dattātreya hṛdi dhyāyet sarvapāpaharaṃ param | brahmajñānapradaṃ devaṃ dattātreyamahaṃ bhaje ||3||

I worship Dattatreya - meditating on him in the heart destroys all sins, grants supreme knowledge of Brahman, and reveals the divine.
