After Krishn and Balaraam had finished their education at Saandeepan Muni's Aashram, they asked him to ask for Guru Dakshinaa. Guru Jee did not want to take any Guru Dakshinaa from them, but when Krishn insisted that without paying Guru Dakshinaa, their education would not be complete, he asked Him to ask His Guru Maataa if she wanted anything. Guru Maataa asked them to bring her son back who got lost in  fair in Prabhaas Kshetra. Both Krishn and Balaraam went to Prabhaas Kshetra and sat on the sea shore only for a moment, that the Sea came with various things to worship them. They asked him to bring their Guru's son back to them. Samudra said - "Dev, I have not taken him. An Asur named Panchjan lives in me in the form of a shell (Shankh). Certainly he must have kidnapped him."

So immediately Bhagavaan entered the sea. After a long search He found him and killed him.  but still they could not find the boy in his stomach. So He came back to His chariot with the Shankh of his body. His body was called Paanchjanya. Then they went to Yam Raaj's Puree Sanyamanee and Krishn blew His own Shankh. Yam Raaj welcomed them and worshipped them. Bhagavaan said - "My Guru's son has been brought here according to his Karm bondage, but now you don't care for his Karm and bring him back to me." Yam Raaj returned the boy to them. Krishn and Balaraam brought the boy to Guru Jee in Ujjain and said - "You may ask anything else also, we will surely give it to you." Saandeepan Muni said - "Son, you have given the Guru Dakshinaa. Who has the disciple like you, does not need anything else. Go now and do good to the whole world." Krishn gave that Shankh to Guru Jee, but Guru Jee did not take it and said - "It is yours, you keep it." So Krishn kept it with Him. Both came back to Mathuraa.
