(1) When glorious Lord Krishna entered the assembly, the people told Him, "The sun-god has come to see Your feet." (2) Lord Krishna smiled and said, "He is not the sun-god. He is King Satrajit holding a splendid jewel." Hearing this, the people left. Satrajit did not approach Lord Krishna, but quickly left also. (3) Desiring to expose Satrajit's selfish pride, Lord Balarama asked him to give the jewel to King Ugrasena. When Satrajit gave it to his brother Prasena instead, Lord Krishna laughed aloud. (4) When a lion in the jungle killed Prasena, Lord Krishna became heavy at heart. Then Satrajit and his friends spoke badly of Lord Krishna, thinking Him their enemy. (5) Searching with many exalted persons, Lord Krishna found Prasena's body mauled to death by a lion. Following the pawprints to a mountainous country, Krishna found the lion was also dead. (6) Lord Krishna found Jambavan's footprints, but not the jewel. Leaving the other people behind, Lord Krishna followed the footprints into a mountain cave. (7) Entering Jambavan's home, and seeing the jewel, Lord Krishna wished to take it. Jambavan's son, the prince of the Rksas, who had been playing with the jewel, ran to his nurse. (8) When Lord Krishna wanted to take the jewel, the frightened and trembling nurse screamed. Intelligent Jamabavan came at once and, his intelligence now clouded, attacked Lord Krishna. (9) Krishna and Jambavan fought for twenty-eight days, but neither could defeat the other. After playing in this way for a long time, Lord Krishna finally bestowed his mercy on Jamabavan as if Jamabavan were His own son. (10) Pure-hearted Jambavan surrendered to Lord Krishna, begged forgiveness for his offense of fighting with the Lord, and with great devotion offered the jewel and his daughter,Jambavati, to the Lord. (11) Returning with Jambavati and the jewel, and giving the jewel to King Satrajit, Lord Krishna was happy at heart. Embarrassed, King Satrajit decided to give his own daughter, as well as the jewel, to Lord Krishna. (12) Lord Krishna accepted Satrajit's daughter, Satyabhama, but not the jewel. With great devotion, Satyabhama had endeavored to attain Lord Krishna. Then, in a conspiracy led byAkrura and others, Satadhanva killed Satrajit, stole the jewel, and fled. Lord Krishna pursued him, killed him, and later took the jewel from Akrura. (13) O Nanda, O king of Vraja, Lord Krishna then met with the Yadavas and pleased them in many ways. Lord Krishna is a full moon eternally rising in your family, a full moon that is the life of all the eyes of Vraja.
