4. To Atri who prayed (to God) for a son (offspring), the All-powerful Lord, being pleased, said:—"I have given Myself to thee,"; accordingly He became the son of Atri—under the name "*Datta*" (often spoken of as 'Dattatreya')—and, purified in body by the dust on the lotus-like feet of (this) Datta, Yadus, Haihayas and other peoples attained success in yoga (in the means towards good) in respect of both this world and the other (of enjoyments here and moksha at the end).
