When Rama and Krsna completed their studies they asked the preceptor as to what he wanted by way of tuition fee, and the guru wanted to get back his son, who was, years ago, drowned in Prabhasa tlrtha. Accordingly Rama and Krsna went in their chariot to Varuna at the sea coast. Varuna told them that it was the Asura called Pancajana, who lived in the sea in the form of a conch, who had killed their preceptor's son. Sri Krsna entered the sea and killed the Asura.
