శ్రీ దత్తాత్రేయ హృదయమ్ (రుద్రయామలే శివపార్వతీసంవాదే)

The heart of Dattātreya as the Rudrayāmala gives it, in a conversation between Pārvatī and Śiva. She asks for it on other people's behalf — tell me the heart of the god Datta, which takes away every misfortune and shows men the road to release — and he answers that it is most wonderful and grants every wish. The record keeps the full ritual apparatus that a hṛdaya carries and that a plain stotra does not: the viniyoga naming Īśvara as the seer of the mantra, anuṣṭubh as its metre, Dattātreya in the form of consciousness as its deity, āṃ as the seed, hrīṃ as the power and kroṃ as the pin; then the placing of the syllables beginning with drāṃ on the hands and the heart; then the meditation. It is the first of two texts under this name here, and the other is a different work with a different seer and metre.
