Question

A man with the combined features of this group was always followed by a cow and four dogs, and listed the earth, pigeons, and infants among his 24 teachers. After this group requested a woman to serve them food in the nude, she spritzed them with water, turning them into babies. Upon being sent to select the greatest member of this group, Bhrigu picked the one who washed his feet after he woke him by kicking his chest. In a contest between members of this group, one of them convinced a ketaki (*) flower to back up his lie that he’d reached the top of a massive pillar of (-5[1])light. A combined (10[1])image (10[1])of this group is the best-known sculpture in the caves (-5[1])of Elephanta Island. (-5[1])Some traditions treat Anasuya’s son Dattatreya as an avatar of this entire group, (10[1])whose vāhanas are the swan Hamsa, the bull Nandi, and Garuda. (10[1])For (10[1])10 points, (10[1])the (10[1]-5[1])Tridevi (-5[1])are married to what group of three (10[1])gods? ■END■ (10[5])
