Being exceptional students Balarama and Krishna learned the Chaturdasha Vidyas and Chatusshasti Kalas (sixty-four arts) dhanurveda (science of archery) at the feet of Guru Sandipani. When Balarama and Krishna completed their studies they asked Guru Sandipani as to what he wanted by way of Gurudakshina (fee), and the guru wanted to get back his son, who was, years ago, drowned in Prabhasa tirtha. Accordingly Balarama and Krishna went to Prabhasa on the west coast. Samudra (deity of the seas)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 Sankhasura (Asura in the form of conch). But, the child was not to be seen inside the asura. Blowing this conch, which in later years became famous as Pancajanya, Rama and Krsna went to Yama's abode Samyamani, who on being told about the object of their visit restored the child to Balarama and Krishna. They presented the child to their preceptor. He blessed them and they returned to Mathura as their studies were complete. <ref name=":12">Mani, Vettam. (1975).
