Shandilya Rishi was the progenitor of the Śāṇḍilya gotra, which is also the highest Brahmin gotras. The name derives from the Sanskrit words Śaṇ, and Dilam, thus meaning Full Moon, therefore implying Śāṇḍilya to be the priest of the Moon God.[3] People belonging to this gotra are considered to be of lunar race. This gotra has three pravar, they are Sandilya, Asit and Deval. The Ved of this gotra is Samveda. This gotra is one of the eight highest gotra in Brahmins.
