Agharir Atha Sabhyaiḥ Sabhantar Upaveśī

avadi punar etad ravis ca tava padau
vilokayitum agad ihodyad upasadau

When glorious Lord Kṛṣṇa entered the assembly, the people told Him, The sun-god has come to see Your feet."

tad etad avakarṇya prajas tu gatavatyaḥ
sa kṛṣṇam abhi nagad yathaśu kṛta-hatyaḥ

Lord Kṛṣṇa smiled and said, He is not the sun-god. He is King Satrājit holding a splendid jewel." Hearing this, the people left. Satrājit did not approach Lord Kṛṣṇa, but quickly left also.

adatta maṇim eṣa praseṇam anu yarhi
prahasam anucakre murarir api tarhi

Desiring to expose Satrājit's selfish pride, Lord Balarāma asked him to give the jewel to King Ugrasena. When Satrājit gave it to his brother Prasena instead, Lord Kṛṣṇa laughed aloud.

tadīya-jana-saṅghas tadatha mura-śatrum
apavadad avetya prati svam api śatrum

When a lion in the jungle killed Prasena, Lord Kṛṣṇa became heavy at heart. Then Satrājit and his friends spoke badly of Lord Kṛṣṇa, thinking Him their enemy.

mṛgendra-pada-cihnaiḥ prapadya giri-deśam
dadarśa saha sarvair hataṁ ca sa mṛgeśam

Searching with many exalted persons, Lord Kṛṣṇa found Prasena's body mauled to death by a lion. Following the pawprints to a mountainous country, Kṛṣṇa found the
lion was also dead.

tadīya-padam ṛcchan jagama girir okam
viveśa tad amatvakhilasya nija-śokam

Lord Kṛṣṇa found Jāmbavān's footprints, but not the jewel. Leaving the other people behind, Lord Kṛṣṇa followed the footprints into a mountain cave.

yad eva kila dhatrīm upetya sukumaraḥ
vihara-padam agat tad ṛkṣa-kula-saraḥ

Entering Jāmbavān's home, and seeing the jewel, Lord Kṛṣṇa wished to take it. Jāmbavān's son, the prince of the Ṛkṣas, who had been playing with the jewel, ran to his nurse.

sa bhalla-kula-mukhyas tadatha hata-buddhiḥ
babhuva saha tena prakṛṣya kṛta-buddhiḥ

When Lord Kṛṣṇa wanted to take the jewel, the frightened and trembling nurse screamed. Intelligent Jāmabavān came at once and, his intelligence now clouded, attacked Lord Kṛṣṇa.

vihṛtya mura-vairī sa tena cira-kalam
cakara karuṇaktaṁ svakīyam iva balam

Kṛṣṇa and Jāmbavān fought for twenty-eight days, but neither could defeat the other. After playing in this way for a long time, Lord Kṛṣṇa finally bestowed his mercy on Jāmabavān as if Jāmabavān were His own son.

syamantam api kanyaṁ dade tu vara-bhaktya
sa jambavad-abhikhyaḥ paraṁ ca para-śaktya

Pure-hearted Jāmbavān surrendered to Lord Kṛṣṇa, begged forgiveness for his offense of fighting with the Lord, and with great devotion offered the jewel and his daughter, Jāmbavati, to the Lord.

traparta-mati-satrajid atra nija-kanyam
maṇiṁ ca mura-śatrav aditsad ati-dhanyam

Returning with Jāmbavati and the jewel, and giving the jewel to King Satrājit, Lord Kṛṣṇa was happy at heart. Embarrassed, King Satrājit decided to give his own daughter, as well as the jewel, to Lord Kṛṣṇa.

dravantam atha satrajitas tu kṛta-ghatam
syamanta-haram akrurakadi-mata-yatam

upetya śata-capaṁ jaghana vana-malī
syamanta-maṇim akrurakac ca mati-śalī

Lord Kṛṣṇa accepted Satrājit's daughter, Satyabhāmā, but not the jewel. With great devotion, Satyabhāmā had endeavored to attain Lord Kṛṣṇa. Then, in a conspiracy led by Akrūra and others, Śatadhanvā killed Satrājit, stole the jewel, and fled. Lord Kṛṣṇa pursued him, killed him, and later took the jewel from Akrūra.

vrajasya nayanaliṁ bibharti jita-tandraḥ
sadapi paripurṇas tvadīya-kula-candraḥ

O Nanda, O king of Vraja, Lord Kṛṣṇa then met with the Yādavas and pleased them in many ways. Lord Kṛṣṇa is a full moon eternally rising in your family, a full moon that is the life of all the eyes of Vraja.
