Who made bansuri?
The bansuri, a traditional Indian bamboo flute, has been played for centuries and its exact origins are not attributed to one specific individual. However, it has been popularized and associated with legendary Indian gods and musicians such as Lord Krishna and Tansen.
When was the bansuri invented?
Bansuri is certainly a primordial instrument and to arrive at an exact date when it was invented does not seem possible. But we can take some educated guesses at this. Krishna who is considered to be the 9th avatar of Vishnu, is the most famous player of bansuri in history. As a youth he used to be a cowherd and it is said that by his mesmerizing flute playing he not only used to bring back lost cows but used to enchant the whole town of Braj, especially the milk women folk. Krishna's birth is dated by historian to be anywhere between 1400 B.C. to 5800 B.C.. By deduction, bansuri has to have been invented much before the time of Krishna. So we are talking about the date of 'invention' older than 3400 years or may be even older than 7800 years! Apart from the story of Krishna, there are many references to bansuri in the old scriptural text of India. In one of the most important books on Indian music theory, Sangeeta Ratnakara (13th century), Sarangadeva refers to 13 different sizes of flute. Also, the Buddhist caves of Ajanta (2nd century B.C.) have murals depicting bansuri players. The Vedas are among the oldest sacred texts in the world dating from 1500-500 B.C. The vedic texts refer to the flute as venu. It was used as accompaniment to vedic recitations along with veena.

What is syamanthakam?
It is a mythical jem in Hindu mythology, that Krishna gets from Jaambavaan. In fact, the jewel was with Sathrajit, Sathyabhama's father. In a fight between Sathrajith's son who wore this jewel and went to forest and Gandharva/Rakshasa, he lost both jewel and his life. As Lord Krishna once asked Sathrajit to have the jewel, which was refused, the blame of killing and stealing was put on Krishna and clearing the onus paved the way to meet Jambavan who had it from the Gandharva/rakshasa. In the ensuing fight between Jambavan and Krishna, the former was subdued and he in appreciation of the valour, gave the jewel and Jambavathi to Krishna. The jewel was restored to Sathrajit who in turn gave it to Krishna along with his daughter Sathyabhama.
