Names


Atri Rishi and Satee Anasooyaa
[V-Raamaayan, 2/53/117]

Atri Rishi is one of the ten Maanas Putra (son)  of Brahmaa Jee - Angiraa, Bhrigu, Daksh, Kratu, Mareechi, Naarad, Pulah, Pulastya, Vashishth. His wife's name was Anasooyaa. Anusooyaa was a great Tapaswee and Satee. Raam visited Atri Rishi Aashram while He was in exile. He went there from Chitrakoot and was advised to live in Panchvatee. Anasooyaa gave divine clothes and jewelry to Seetaa.

They get Brahmaa, Vishnu and Mahesh as Their Sons
When Brahmaa Jee ordered Atri Rishi to create the world, he with Anasooyaa went to Riksh Parvat to do Tapasyaa. There he prayed that whosoever is the Swaamee of all the three Lok, "He may bestow me with the children like Himself". Pleased with their Tapasyaa, Brahmaa, Vishnu and Mahesh all three came there on their Vaahan (ride). Then Atri Muni said - "I bow you and respect you but I, with the desire of children, meditated only for one Shree Hari. Then how come that you three appeared before me?" 

Hearing this the three Dev laughed and said - "You were meditating for whatever Dev, He is we three. Therefore you will have we three in our Ansh-Roop (part) as your sons and we will expand your lineage." After saying this they went to their Lok. When the time came Brahmaa's Ansh appeared as Chandramaa, Vishnu's Ansh appeared as Dattaatreya Jee, and Mahaadev's Ansh appeared as Durvaasaa Rishi in Rishi Atri's house. Thus all three Dev appeared as sons of Atri Rishi and Anasooyaa Jee.
