==Origin== According to Chapter 44 of the [[Brahmanda Purana]], [[Brahma]] and [[Shiva]] got into a heated quarrel. Shiva became violently enraged when the devas fled from his presence in fear. His consort, [[Parvati]], complained that Shiva is now impossible to live with. Realizing the chaos his anger had caused, Shiva deposited this anger into [[Anasuya]], the wife of sage [[Atri]]. From this portion of Shiva deposited into Anasuya, a child is born, named 'Durvasa' (lit. ''one who is difficult to live with''). Because he is born of Shiva's anger, he had an irascible nature.<ref name="Horace Hayman Wilson 1840">The Vishnu Purana - translated by Horace Hayman Wilson(1840)</ref><ref>Srimad Bhagavatam (Bhagavata Purana): The Story of the Fortunate One - translated by [https://www.srimadbhagavatam.org/]</ref>
