'''Durvasa''' (Samskrit: दुर्वासा) also known as '''Durvasas''' ([[Sanskrit]]: दुर्वासस्), was an ancient [[Rishi]], the son of [[Atri]] and [[Anasuya]]. He is known for his short temper. Hence, wherever he went, he was received with great reverence from humans and [[Deva (Hinduism)|devas]] alike.
According to local tradition in modern [[Azamgarh]], Durvasa's Ashram or hermitage, where many disciples used to go to study under him, was situated in the area, at the confluence of the [[Tons River]] and Majhuee rivers, 6 km north of the [[Phulpur]] Tehsil headquarters.

Dharma and Bhakti were eventually born as Hariprasad Pande(a.k.a. Dharmadev) and Premvati Pande(a.k.a. Bhaktidevi). Narayana was born as their son, named Ghanshyam, who is now known as Swaminarayan. The story is limited to Swaminarayan Hinduism and no other Hindu scriptures support the tale.
