Agharir Atha Sabhyaih
Volume 2 Chapter 7 Verse 18
aghārir atha sabhyaiḥ
sabhāntar upaveśī prajābhir abhiyātaḥ sametya
śubha-veśī avādi punar etad ravis ca tava
pādau vilokayitum agad ihodyad upasādau
When glorious Lord Krsna entered the assembly, the people told Him, "The sun-god has come to see Your feet."
hasaṁs tu harir ūce na
cāyam ahimaṁśuḥ paraṁ tu bata satrājid
eṣa maṇijāṁśuḥ tad etad avakarṇya prajās
tu gatavatyaḥ sa kṛṣṇam abhi
nāgād yathāśu kṛta-hatyaḥ
Lord Krsna 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 Krsna, but quickly left also.
haris
tad-ati-garva-prakāśa-kṛti-kāmaḥ nṛpāya maṇim asminn
athārdad anu rāmaḥ adatta maṇim eṣa praseṇam
anu yarhi prahāsam anucakre murārir api
tarhi
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 Krsna laughed aloud.
yadā tu sa-maṇiṁ
taṁ jaghāna vana-siṁhaḥ gabhīra-manasāsīt
tadā ca yadu-siṁhaḥ tadīya-jana-saṅghas
tadātha mura-śatrum apāvadad avetya prati svam api
śatrum
When a lion in the jungle killed Prasena, Lord Krsna became heavy at heart. Then Satrajit and his friends spoke badly of Lord Krsna, thinking Him their enemy.
haris tu puru-sadbhir vimṛgya
parinaṣṭam dadarśa haya-yuktaṁ tam eva
hari-daṣṭam mṛgendra-pada-cihnaiḥ
prapadya giri-deśam dadarśa saha sarvair
hataṁ ca sa mṛgeśam
Searching with many exalted persons, Lord Krsna found Prasena's body mauled to death by a lion. Following the pawprints to a mountainous country, Krsna found the lion was also dead.
athātra padam ṛkṣa-prabhos
ca sa luloke maṇiṁ tu na hi tac ca
pratītāvati loke tadīya-padam ṛcchan
jagāma girir okam viveśa tad amatvākhilasya
nija-śokam
Lord Krsna found Jambavan's footprints, but not the jewel. Leaving the other people behind, Lord Krsna followed the footprints into a mountain cave.
praviśya sa
maharkṣa-prakṛṣṭa-puru-gāmī apaśyad atha ratnaṁ
tadīya-hṛti-kāmī yad eva kila dhātrīm upetya
sukumāraḥ vihāra-padam agāt tad
ṛkṣa-kula-sāraḥ
Entering Jambavan's home, and seeing the jewel, Lord Krsna wished to take it. Jambavan's son, the prince of the Rksas, who had been playing with the jewel, ran to his nurse.
sa-ratnam ajihīrṣan murārir
iti dhātrī akūjad ati-bhītā
sa-kampātara-gātrī sa bhalla-kula-mukhyas tadātha
hata-buddhiḥ babhūva saha tena
prakṛṣya kṛta-buddhiḥ
When Lord Krsna wanted to take the jewel, the frightened and trembling nurse screamed. Intelligent Jamabavan came at once and, his intelligence now clouded, attacked Lord Krsna.
sahāṣṭādaśa-yugmāṁśa
tena divasānām vyadhāta yugam uccair anudyad
avasānām vihṛtya mura-vairī sa
tena cira-kālam cakāra
karuṇāktaṁ svakīyam iva bālam
Krsna and Jambavan fought for twenty-eight days, but neither could defeat the other. After playing in this way for a long time, Lord Krsna finally bestowed his mercy on Jamabavan as if Jamabavan were His own son.
sa cātha hrdi śuddhas tam etya
gati-sāram nivedya nijam agaḥ prasannam
akṛtāram syamantam api kanyāṁ dade tu
vara-bhaktyā sa jāmbavad-abhikhyaḥ
paraṁ ca para-śaktyā
Pure-hearted Jambavan surrendered to Lord Krsna, begged forgiveness for his offense of fighting with the Lord, and with great devotion offered the jewel and his daughter, Jambavati, to the Lord.
sa-kanya-maṇi-rāgān
murārir atha geham samarpya maṇim īśe nananda
valiteham trapārta-mati-satrājid atra
nija-kanyām maṇiṁ ca mura-śatrāv
aditsad ati-dhanyām
Returning with Jambavati and the jewel, and giving the jewel to King Satrajit, Lord Krsna was happy at heart. Embarrassed, King Satrajit decided to give his own daughter, as well as the jewel, to Lord Krsna.
murārir atha kanyām iyeṣa
na tu ratnam sa-bhaktir iha sā yat paraṁ tu
kṛta-yatnam dravantam atha satrājitas tu
kṛta-ghātam syamanta-haram
akrūrakādi-mata-yātam upetya śata-cāpaṁ
jaghāna vana-mālī syamanta-maṇim
akrūrakāc ca mati-śālī
Lord Krsna accepted Satrajit's daughter, Satyabhama, but not the jewel. With great devotion, Satyabhama had endeavored to attain Lord Krsna. Then, in a conspiracy led by Akrura and others, Satadhanva killed Satrajit, stole the jewel, and fled. Lord Krsna pursued him, killed him, and later took the jewel from Akrura.
sametya yadu-vṛndaṁ
pratoṣya bahu-karmā sa eṣa tava
goṣṭha-kṣitīśa kṛta-śarmā vrajasya nayanāliṁ bibharti
jita-tandraḥ sadāpi paripūrṇas
tvadīya-kula-candraḥ
O Nanda, O king of Vraja, Lord Krsna then met with the Yadavas and pleased them in many ways. Lord Krsna is a full moon eternally rising in your family, a full moon that is the life of all the eyes of Vraja.
