The introductory verse (śloka 1) and the Nyasa (śloka 2) suggest it is a standalone stotram, likely compiled for devotional purposes rather than being an excerpt from a larger, named scripture.

Benefits of Recitation
- Removes all diseases (सर्वरोगहरं)
- Grants divine grace (कृपानिधिम्)
- Bestows spiritual well-being
- Aids in devotion to Dattatreya
- Promotes overall prosperity
Best Time to Recite
Morning and evening are generally considered auspicious times for reciting stotrams. Specific occasions like Guru Purnima (celebrated in honor of gurus, with Dattatreya being a prominent guru figure) or any day dedicated to Dattatreya worship would be particularly suitable.
Historical Context
The stotram itself does not provide explicit historical context regarding its composition date or author. However, the style of Sanskrit used and the devotional nature are characteristic of Puranic and post-Puranic devotional literature. The inclusion of a Nyasa (invocation and dedication of mantras) in the second verse is common in devotional hymns. The mention of Narada Rishi as the speaker in the Nyasa suggests a connection to Puranic narratives, where Narada often plays a role in conveying divine knowledge. The compilation by 'Vedic Tithi' indicates it is part of a modern effort to preserve and disseminate traditional spiritual texts.
