Name of a sage. [According to ViṣṇuPurāṇa, he was the tutor of Kṛiṣṇa and Balarāma, and asked as his preceptor's fee that his son, who was kept by a demon named Pañchajana underneath the waters, should be restored to him. Kṛiṣṇa, having undertaken to get him up, plunged into the sea, killed the demon, and brought back the boy to his father.]
