Concealing Their innarcly perfect knowledlge by Their humanlike activities, Krpna and Balarāma went to Avanti to reside at the school of the learned spiritual master Sāndīpani
Muni. Sāndīpani thought very highly of these two self-controlled disciples, whom he felt so fortunate to have obtained. Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma served him as devotedly as one would serve the Supreme Lord Himself, thus showing others an irreproachable example of how to worship the spiritual master.
Satisfied with Their submissive behavior, Sāndīpani Muni taught the two Lords the entire Vedas, together with their six corollaries and the Upaniṣads. He also taught Them the Dhanur-veda, with its most confidential secrets; the standard books of law; the methods of logical reasoning and philosophical debate; and the sixfold science of politics.
Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma immediately assimilated each and every subject after hearing it explained just once. Thus with fixed concentration They learned the sixty-four arts and skills in as many days and nights. Thereafter They satisfied Their spiritual master by offering him guru-daksinā, the traditional token of remuneration a disciple gives his spiritual master.
