Here, I'm sharing an article that I read about this. A sage named Atri was born from Brahma. That sage had a son named Dattatreya. He had a son named Nimi. He was a great ascetic. He had a son named Sriman. He was a great ascetic and during his thousand-year-long penance, he died one day. Overwhelmed by grief at the loss of his son, Nimi performed the last rites for his body and was deeply distressed by the calamity that had befallen him. After making many preparations with sorrow, he fell asleep that night. Upon waking up at dawn, he began to think about what to do next.
