We meet Durvaasaa Muni in Raamaayan, Mahaabhaarat, Bhaagvat etc religious
books in many references. He is very famous for his loose temperament and
giving Shaap very soon.
In Raamaayan we meet him in Uttar Kaand. In Mahaabhaarat we meet him when
Kuntee was unmarried and he came to
Kuntibhoj's house; and when Paandav were passing their 12 years in Van.
In Bhaagvat we meet him with
Shakuntalaa.
We meet his father Atri Rishi in Aranya Kaand
when Raam is on His Van Yaatraa or in His exile. Atri Rishi was one of the 10
Maanas sons of Brahmaa Jee - Angiraa, Atri, Bhrigu, Daksh, Kratu,
Mareechi,
Naarad, Pulah, Pulastya,
Vashishth. His wife's name was Anasooyaa.
She is one of Satee women in Indian mythological history.
Birth of Durvaasaa Muni (1)
Once Atri Muni and Anasooyaa did a severe Tap with the desire of a son. Brahmaa,
Vishnu and Mahesh got very pleased with them and all appeared before them together.
Atri Rishi got very happy to see all of them but got surprised too. He said I was
meditating on Bhagvaan but how come that you all came before me? The trio said -
"Whoever you were meditating on that is we three. We are very pleased with
your Tapasyaa, so ask what do you want to ask for?" Atri Rishi said - "I
have a desire to have a son like you." The trio granted his wish and went
away. Later he had three sons - A son was born from Atri's eyes, his name was
Chandramaa (Brahmaa Jee's Avataar).
Brahmaa Jee appointed him as the king of Braahman, medicines and constellations.
Among his other sons are Dattaatreya (Vishnu's
Avataar), and Durvaasaa Muni (Mahaadev's Avataar).
