Sandīpanī Muni was the guru of Bhagavan Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Sandīpanī was a ṛṣi/muni/saint of Ujjain. Sandīpanī means, Possessor of complete illuminating . The Saṅgīta-Sāra-Saṅgraha relates the name as a particular musical śruti . The Sandīpanī Muni āśrama is located 2 km outside Ujjain, in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The area near the āśrama, known as Aṅkapāta, is popularly believed to have been the place used by Bhagavan Śrī Kṛṣṇa for washing his writing tablets. A locally sourced narrative relates that the numerals 1 to 100 found inscribed on a stone were originally engraved by Saṁdīpanī. Near the āśrama is the Gomti Kund, a stepped water tank. Legend has it that this is where Kṛṣṇa summoned all the holy waters from various centres so that his elderly Guru, Saṁdīpanī Muni would not have to travel other holy places. The Bhāgavata Purāṇa relates the following story regarding Saṁdīpanī Muni: While staying as students at the residence of Saṁdīpanī Muni, the two brothers—Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma— and their friend, Sudama , mastered every single lesson, although only having been instructed in each once. Upon the rapid completion of their studies, they persuaded their teacher to ask for the preceptor’s dakṣiṇa of his own choosing. Saṁdīpanī asked for the restoration of his child, who had disappeared in the ocean at Prabhāsa . The two brothers traveled to Prabhāsa and found that the son had been snatched away by a being named Śaṅkhāsura . According to the Bhāgavata-Purāṇa , Śaṅkhāsura inhabited a beautiful conch named, panchajanya , lived under the waters in the shape of a conch). Not finding the son within the conch, Sri Krishna and Balarama took the crom the clutches of Death-personified that Śrī Kṛṣṇa acquired his famous conch, Pañca-Jana, from Śaṅkhāsura.
