Hearing the praise of Anasooyaa, and that the three Devtaa came to her Aashram and she kept them in her Aashram converting them into newborn babies, and then the three Devee had to beg her for their husband, reached the King Kritveerya. This made Kritveerya greedy and he expressed his wish to bring them in his kingdom. His Kul Guru tried to convince him that saints are saints, they do not come like this on somebody's invitation, but he did not listen to him. He sent a message of this matter to Atri Rishi to come and reside in his kingdom, but Atri Rishi refused his offer clearly. At this he got very angry and he himself went to his Aashram and asked him to come to his kingdom, but Atri Rishi again refused it. At this he started destroying his Aashram and Atri Rishi saved it with his Yaugik powers. Kritveerya also tried his Maayaa but in vain. At this Atri Rishi cursed him - "As you have come here to destroy a Braahman's Aashram, in the same way you will also be killed by a Braahman."

Naarad Jee again came to Tri-Dev and requested them to incarnate on Prithvi to alleviate all kinds of atrocities of Kritveerya. So as Brahmaa, Vishnu and Mahesh granted the boon to Anasooyaa to be born as her sons, they were born to her as Dattaatreya (from Vishnu), Chandramaa  (from Brahmaa Jee) and Durvaasaa (from Shiv Jee). Later Chandramaa returned to Brahm Lok. Brahmaa Jee appointed him as the Prajaapati of Chandra Mandal. Daksh Jee married his 27 daughters to him. Brahmaa Jee commanded him to grow herbs trees etc.

Durvaasaa was very angry since his childhood. When he grew up he used to curse anybody. Once Atri Rishi explained him that one should not be angry because it destroys his Tap and logic. He should learn to control his anger. Durvaasaa told him that for this he will have to do Tapasyaa, and he went to do Tapasyaa. he meditated on Shiv and got the boon of spiritual powers from Shiv - all Adhibhautik, Aadhyaatmik and Adhi-Daivik.

Once Anasooyaa sees Chandra, Durvaasaa and Dattaatreya in Dattaatreya. He tells her that he is all the same - Brahmaa, Vishnu and Mahesh. He gives her Gyaan, He shows the whole Universe in his one palm. Then only she allows him to go from her Aashram.

Twenty years passed for Atri Rishi's curse but Kritveerya was still under its effect. He was not at peace at all. He could not sleep in the nights. Garg Muni was consulted in this regard. He said - "Maybe after Kaartveerya Arjun comes back after completing his education, he will be all right." Since Kaartveerya did not know anything, Garg Rishi told him everything. Kaartveerya asked him some way to treat his father, Garg Muni showed his incompetence. Kritveerya could not be treated and one day he died of this fear that a Braahman came and killed him.

Dattaatreya
On the other side Dattaatreya also finished his Tapasyaa and left Atri Rishi's Aashram to do welfare of the world. Once some Rishi were going across a river that Dattaatreya also expressed his wish to take him to the other shore but they did not take him and started making a mockery of him. A little later they saw him walking on water and disappearing on the land. They were all very surprised to see this. When they came across the river they found him meditating under a tree. They all tried to be their disciple but since they were not interested in real knowledge, Dattaatreya jumped in the river and got disappeared there and did  not come out for three days. Those Rishi waited for him there all the time but when they saw him, he was with a beautiful woman. She was offering him a drink and he was drinking it happily. Seeing this those Muni fied on him and went away.

5-Rishi and Daitya

Durvaasaa Rishi Kills Durjan and Durmati
There were two Daitya Durjan and Durmati. Both did severe Tapasyaa and pleased Brahmaa Jee and got a boon from him that they should not be defeated by anybody and they should be killed by Shiv only when he is not in waking state. With this boon they first went to Kailaash Parvat to defeat Shiv Jee, so as they reached there, Shiv Jee got disappeared from there. Durjan and Durmati got very happy to see this. After taking over Kailaash, they went to Ksheer Saagar and challenged Vishnu Jee. Vishnu Jee also disappeared from there leaving His Shesh Shayyaa. Seeing they got happier than ever that they had defeated both Shiv and Vishnu.

The then Naarad Jee came there saying "Naaraayan, Naaraayan". Hearing "Naaraayan, Naaraayan" Durjan and Durmati said to him - "Do not take His name, we have defeated Him and now we are the king of Tri-Lok. And do not do Tapasyaa also." Naarad Jee asked why, they said - "We have achieved this position only because of Tapasyaa, and we do not want that anybody should do Tapasyaa and take our position." Naarad Jee said - "But there is one who is doing Tapasyaa on Earth." "Who is that?" Naarad Jee showed them the person - Durvaasaa Muni.

Durjan and Durmati went there and tried to kill Durvaasaa, but their all weapons became useless on him. Then Durvaasaa Rishi opened his third eye and burned both of them. But his fire started burning other Lok also. Shiv jee appeared before Durvaasaa and blessed him - "Your Tapasyaa is complete now. The fire appeared from your Tap is birning Tri-Lok, so leave this Tap now. You should be angry from those only who do everything at their will." Durvaasaa Rishi asked him - "Hey Prabhu, How can I control my anger?" Shiv Jee said - "Do not establish Sampark (contact) and Sambandh (relationship) then only you can control your anger. Do not think about Vishaya (worldly pleasures) that is how you will not be in Sampark with them and you will not be angry; besides, do not stay at one place so that you do not establish your relationship there." Durvaasaa Rishi agreed for this.

On the other side, Dattaatreya was also doing Tapasyaa and was collecting powers from  Brahmaa, Vishnu and Mahesh.

Dattaatteya and Jambhaasur
Meanwhile there was a Daitya named Jambh who pleased Brahmaa Jee and got a boon from him that "Whoever comes in front of me in the battle, he should start yawning at my will and become sleepy and I can win him easily. With this boon he won all Devtaa and he became the king of Indra Lok. Indra then went to Dattaatreya on the advice of Naarad Jee. Dattaatreya Jee advised him to invite Jambh for the battle in his Aashram. He told that as soon as all Daitya would come to his Aashram, his one Divine look will make them weak and powerless and then he could kill all of them. So Indra went to Jambh and fighting with him brought all Daitya to Dattaatreya's Aashram.

Dattaatreya Jee said - "Lakshmee destroys while living in some places, while she does good living in other places. Lakshmee does not live at one place. When Lakshmee lives in one's feet, then a person gets beautiful house; when she lives in thighs then she gives beautiful clothes, ornaments, wealth etc; when she lives in waistline, she gives beautiful woman; when she lives in lap, she gives son; when she lives in heart then she fulfills all wishes of a person. When she lives in neck she gives ornaments of neck, and when she lives in mouth, she gives sweet speech. The same Lakshmee when sits on somebody's head, she leaves him. Since now she is sitting on his head his all powers have been weakened, you can go and kill him." So Indra went to him and killed him with his Vajra.

Dattaatreya Jee is the combination of all the three Devtaa - Brahmaa, Vishnu and Mahesh - with Brahmaa's Kamanadal, Vishnu's Chakra and Mahesh's Trishool. Dattaatreya is composed of two words - Datt + Treya. Datt means given, and Treya means three, thus Dattaatreya means who is given by three (Brahmaa, Vishnu and Mahesh).

Kaartveerya Arjun
After Kritveerya had died, Kaartveerya Arjun did not sit on the throne. He wanted to earn all qualities of a king. His Kul Guru suggested him to please Dattaatreya Jee as he was the Tri-Dev in human form. Kaartveerya immediately came to Dattaatreya's Aashram and requested him to accept him as his disciple. Dattaatreya asked him - "If I will accept you as my disciple what will you give to me?" Arjun said - "Whatever you wish for." Dattaatreya said - "Bring me a flower."

6-Dattaatreya and Arjun

Arjun went outside and saw several plants of flowers but to whichever plant he went, it disappeared. He came back to Dattaatreya and expressed his inability to give any flower to him but he presented his head in his feet. Pleased from his offering, Bhakti, Dattaatreya got very pleased and accepted him as his disciple. Arjun said - "Prabhu, I wish to be a good king." Dattaatreya said - "Till you will use the powers for the welfare of your public, they will be working fine, but as soon as you will move from your aim, you will be powerless. Always work for the welfare of Jeev and public. Only those actions are good which are done for the welfare of others."

Dattaatreya said - "But you ask for yourself too." Arjun said - "If you are pleased with me, give me that I can recognize my friend and enemy; when I go in the battlefield, I have thousand arms strength in my arms. When these arms are grown in my body, I should be able to take their load too." Dattaatreya Jee said - "When you will go to battlefield with the desire of welfare to others, your wish surely be fulfilled. And if you will go with the desire of only expanding your kingdom and greed, the same 1,000 arms will be a great load on your body." Arjun said - "I will do as you have said." and he came back to his kingdom and was crowned king.

Durvaasaa's Curse to Saraswatee
Once Durvaasaa Rishi thought that when he does Tap the whole Tri-Lok gets worried, so why not he should go to Brahm Lok and study Ved from Brahmaa Jee. So he went there to study Ved. Brahmaa Jee welcomed him as his grandson and made the arrangement of learning Ved for him. As he was studying Ved there, Saraswatee Jee started laughing at him. When she could not stop her laugh, Durvaasaa asked her why she was laughing. She replied that she was laughing at his Swar (tone). He said - "So do you think that only you have good tone in the whole Tri-Lok? You are very proud of that. I curse you that you fall from Brahm Lok to destroy your pride."

Brahmaa Jee said - "What did you do this, O Durvaasaa? If Saraswatee will not live here who will teach Ved Richaa? Who will teach Swar here? How the Gyaan will be distributed here?" Durvaasaa Jee said - "Her singing will be in Gandharv Lok where she will take birth." Brahmaa Jee said - "By cursing my consort Saraswatee you have proved yourself incapable of living in Brahm Lok. You leave this Brahm Lok."

Meanwhile Gandharv Raaj Vishwaavasu was doing Tapasyaa for Dattaatreya to get a child. Pleased from his Tap Dattaatreya Jee appeared before him and asked him to ask for a boon. Vishwaavasu asked him to give him a child. Dattaatreya Jee said - "This whole universe is born from a Yagya. When some act is done with full devotion it becomes a Yagya, you also do a Yagya, you will surely get a child." So Vishwaavasu started a Yagya with his wife Chitralekhaa.

In the meantime, Daitya Vajraketu came to destroy his Yagya. He did not want that anybody should do any Yagya. Dattaatreya protected his Yagya. Vajraketu tried his best to destroy that Yagya but could not harm it, so he himself went there and got burnt. Thus he was killed there. Yagya was completed. At the end of the Yagya, Yagya Dev appeared from that Yagya and gave them a pot and asked them to take the Prasaad in it. They took it with great Bhakti. As a result they had daughter. This daughter was Saraswatee herself who was born as a result of Durvaasaa's curse. Vishwaavasu named her Madaalasaa.

As the girl was born, Naarad Jee came there and congratulated the Gandharv Raaj on the birth of his daughter. Vishwaavasu asked Naarad Jee about her future. Naarad Jee ignored this and blessed her. Chitralekhaa said - "Devarshi, We have a desire that we want the blessings of Dattaatreya who is born on Prithvi." Naarad Jee suggested them to meditate on Dattaatreya, so they did and Dattaatreya Jee appeared before them and asked their desire. Vishwaavasu said - "Our all desires are related to our daughter. We want that she should always be happy and comfortable." Dattaatreya Jee said - "Raajan, Your daughter is not an ordinary girl, she is the incarnation of Saraswatee Devee. She will attain Brahm Gyaan, and her son will also be Brahm Gyaanee. My blessings are always with you." Time flew and Madaalasaa grew in a fine young woman.

Paataalketu
At the same time, after the killing of Vajraketu, his son Paataalketu was crowned as the king of Paataal. Now he wanted to know how his father was killed. His Kul Guru said - "He was not killed but he died in the battlefield." "In which battle?" "He was killed in the battle with Vishwaavasu." "Oh, So my father was killed by Vishwaavasu. I am going to kill him." So they came on prithvi and Paataalketu commanded his brother Kaalketu to be disguised in a Saadhu and stay there and he himself went to Gandharv Lok.

There Paataalketu saw Madaalasaa and got attracted to her. [Now Madaalasaa was the incarnation of Saraswatee Jee and the result of Durvasaa's curse. So both had some meaning - Bhagavaan has to do all these Leelaa to set the situation of duties and actions.] So he proposed to Gandharv Raaj for his daughter, but Gandharv Raaj did not agree for this and got ready for fight. But Paataalketu abducted Madaalasaa to Paataal Lok.
