Sandipanimritapatyadatr (साण्दीपनिमृतापत्यदातृ, IAST: Sāndīpanimṛtāpatyadātṛ) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Restorer of the dead son of Guru Sāndīpani”. From Sāndīpani (Kṛṣṇa's revered preceptor), mṛta (dead), apatya (offspring/child), and dātṛ (giver/restorer), this name celebrates Kṛṣṇa's miraculous act of retrieving His guru's deceased son from the realm of death as the supreme expression of gurudakṣiṇā.
Meaning, etymology & significance
After completing His studies at the āśrama of the sage Sāndīpani in Avantī (modern Ujjain), Kṛṣṇa asked His guru what gift (dakṣiṇā) he desired; Sāndīpani asked for the return of his son who had drowned in the ocean. Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma descended to the realm of Yama, recovered the boy, and returned him alive to his overjoyed parents—an act narrated in the Bhāgavata Purāṇa (10.45). This name thus honors Kṛṣṇa as the one who transcends even death in fulfilling His sacred obligation to His teacher, modeling the highest ideals of both discipleship and divine omnipotence.
This epithet is treasured in gurukula and Vedic educational traditions as a reminder that reverence for one's teacher is itself a divine virtue, and that Kṛṣṇa—the teacher of the Gītā—was Himself a model student. Pronounced sān-dī-pa-ni-mṛ-tā-pa-tya-dā-tṛ, it is a sacred but very lengthy compound; Mṛtāpatyadātṛ or simply Dakṣiṇāprada are more manageable name forms.
