“Tripura Rahasya or the Mystery Beyond the Trinity” an ancient prime text on Advaita in Sanskrit and was highly commended by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi for study by seekers. There was no English translation of this scripture until the present one was made by Munagala Venkataramiah (Swami Ramanananda Saraswathi) in 1938. This book is not to be picked up, read through and put away. The verses are full of Divine nectar which will quench the thirst of any earnest seeker who repeatedly reflects on their meaning and in right earnest attempts to implement the teachings, or so it has been said :-)

Datthathreya was the Guru of the Thretha Yuga. Bhaargava Raama, or Parashuraama, was also an Avathaara of the Thretha Yuga, the Avathaara before Sri Raamachandra. Parashuraama is a Chiranjeevi, that is he will exist till the end of this Kalpa when he will merge with the Parabrahmam. Datthathreya Himself does not have a life-span. He comes and goes as He pleases. In any form or formlessness as He pleases. Probably this Pramaana Shaasthra of Thripura Rahasya was imparted to Parashuraama in the Thretha Yuga. As for pinning the age of the Thretha Yuga in. modern calendar, there are too many scholars and studies and opinions on this. I prefer to go by our traditional scriptures and understanding that the Thretha Yuga age was 5120 years of Kali Yuga + 840000 years of Dvaapara Yuga, that is from 845120 years ago going backwards to 1260000 years ago. May sound impossible to modern perception. But not really so, if we shift our perception.
