Śāṇḍilya ((サンスクリット:शाण्डिल्य)) was the name of at least two prominent rishis. One of the rishis was the progenitor of the Śāṇḍilya gotra. The name was derived from the Sanskrit words ''śaṇ'', full and ''dilam'', the moon, with the derivative ''ya'' added, meaning the one of the full moon, thereby implying a priest or a descendant of the Moon God. == Progenitor of the Śāṇḍilya Gotra == One rishi was a son of the sage Asita and grandson of the rishi Kashyapa, and the founder of the Śāṇḍilya gotra. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad states that he was a disciple of Vaatsya rishi. His other Acharyas include Kaushika, Gautama Maharishi, Kaishorya Kaapya, Vatsya Vaijavap, and Kushri. His disciples include Kaundinya, Agnivesa, Vatsya Vamakakshayan, Vaishthapureya, and Bharadwaj. 〔 〕 He was also the composer of the Śāṇḍilya Upanishad.〔()〕 According to the Bhagavata Purana, he was instrumental in settling certain metaphysical doubts of King Parikshit of Hastinapura and King Vajra of Dwaraka.〔http://nitaaiveda.com/Compiled_and_Imp_Scriptures/Shrimad_Bhagavatam/Bhagavata_Mahatmya/1._Shandilya_Describes_Vraja.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sandilya (Rishi)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
