Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[Bhagvan Dattatreya is all the great trinity rolled in to one form. He is followed by the four Vedas in the form of dogs. There is a story that Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva wanted to test the chastity of Sadhvi Anasooya and requested her to serve them food in the nude. She made them in to babies and took them together. That is one story about the origin of Dathathreya. In the states of Karnataka and Maharashtra, there are large number of people who worship Dathathreya. It is belied Sage Samarth of Maharashtra was his incarnation. The following is datta’s kavacha. If we recite this kavacha for 28 times for 49 days we will get Lord Dattatreya’s darshan and our problems also get solved.

Ya yetha drutha kavacham sannahyath bhakthi bhavitha,
SArva anartha nirviktho Graha peeda vivarjitha. 11
He who wears this armour with the spirit of devotion,
Will get rid of all dangers as well as the problems caused by planets.
Bhootha pretha pisachadwaira devair apya parajitha,
Bhukthyathaa divyaan bhogan, sa dehanthe Thath padam vrujeth. 12
Devils, ghosts, bad wandering souls as well as gods with enmity would get defeated,
And they would enjoy divine pleasures and at the end they would reach you.
Ithi sri dhathreya kavacham.
Thus ends the armour of Dattatreya.
