It is a very interesting story. In ancient times, there was Maharishi Atri and his wife Mata Anasuya. Mata Anasuya’s devotion to her husband was so strong that all three gods (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva) had to come to earth to test her. But due to the power of mother, all three gods became small children. Later, all three gods combined their parts and gave a son to Mother Anasuya, who was named Dattatreya.
