At the tol

Sankara was admitted to the tol (boarding-school) of renowned Sanskrit scholar Mahendra Kandali. There were several such tols established at that time, most of them by famous learned men bearing titles like Misra, Kandali, Bhattāchāryya, Saraswati, etc.

From the beginning, Sankaradeva made a brilliant impression on his teacher.

The teacher Mahendra Kandali could find some rare qualities in Sankara during the course of his studies.

One day, after school-hours, the teacher saw a serpent providing shade with its hood over Sankara's face to prevent the sun's rays from scorching him, while he (Sankara) lay asleep on the floor of the school.

This sight at once reminded Kandali of the serpent Ananta spreading its hood over Nārāyana, and his mind was filled with extreme wonder.

Soon after this divine vision, Kandali directed all his students to address Sankara as Sankaradeva, the epithet 'Deva' meaning 'God' and he was also excused of all extra-curricular duties.
