What the Dattatreya Ashtottara Shatanamavali is
The Dattatreya Ashtottara Shatanamavali is a list of 108 names of Dattatreya, son of the sage Atri and of Anasuya, in which each name stands in the dative case between Om and namah, so that every line is a complete salutation. No Purana or named composer is attached to it; printed editions give it as traditional, and it appears in Dattatreya puja manuals. The list runs by theme. It opens with Datta, the one given, and his parentage, then moves through dharma, siddhi, the Guru and yoga. Garments, the ages from child to adolescent, and the fierce and gentle aspects follow; then faces, arms and emblems; then thousands, lotuses, knowledge and meditation. It ends by naming him Brahman, Vishnu, Shankara and the Self. Other lists share this title: this one opens with Shri Datta, Deva Datta and Brahma Datta and closes with Paramatman, while the others begin with the son of Anasuya or with Omkara.
How Atri's Son Became the Given One
The list has no composition story of its own, so its opening names carry the story. The Bhagavata Purana supplies it in two places. In the fourth book, Brahma tells Atri to take part in creation, and Atri goes with his wife to Mount Riksha to perform austerities, praying for a son like the master of the universe. The three gods grant the request, and three sons follow: Soma from Brahma, Dattatreya from Vishnu and Durvasa from Shiva. The second book compresses this into a play on words. Pleased with Atri, the deity says "datto maya aham", "I am given by myself", and so the child is Datta. The Markandeya Purana also makes the three sons a boon to Anasuya, who there helps restore the sunrise. A popular legend told outside the principal Puranas goes further: the three gods come as mendicants to test Anasuya, she turns them into infants with water that washed Atri's feet, and when Atri embraces them they become one child with three heads and six hands. Names 2 to 6 of this list gather those threads, and Names 101 to 105 return to them at the close, where Datta is called Brahman, Vishnu and Shankara.

- Over 30 years in the Guru–Sishya Parampara, from the age of five
- He reads every chart himself — 60 minutes, one to one, never delegated
- Charts are read only between sunrise and sunset, following tradition
