Śaṇḍa
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Saṇḍa and Amarka were the sons of Śukrācārya, the guru of the rākṣasas.[1] When he went away for tapas, Saṇḍa and Amarka acted as the priests of the demon-king Hiraṇyakaśipu. They were also the teachers of Prahlāda, Hiraṇyakaśipu’s son and a great devotee of Viṣṇu.[2][3]
