What is the historical and traditional background?
The author and date of composition of the Dattatreya Siddha Mangala Stotram are not known. The text appears to belong to a regional Dattatreya lineage, as some verses name specific individuals (Appalalakshmi Narasimha Raja, Srividyadhari Radha Surekha, Sripada, Mata Sumati), suggesting it may be associated with a particular devotional family or sampradaya rather than being a pan-Indian text. Dattatreya's identity as a Siddha connects this text to the Nath Sampradaya and other yogic lineages that venerate him as the adi-guru (first teacher).
