Bhajan | Jiva Goswami
Verse 1
agharir atha sabhyaiḥ sabhantar upaveśī

vilokayitum agad ihodyad upasadau
Verse 2
hasaṁs tu harir uce na cayam ahimaṁśuḥ

Verse 3
haris tad-ati-garva-prakaśa-kṛti-kamaḥ

adatta maṇim eṣa praseṇam anu yarhi
prahasam anucakre murarir api tarhi
Verse 4
yada tu sa-maṇiṁ taṁ jaghana vana-siṁhaḥ

tadīya-jana-saṅghas tadatha mura-śatrum
apavadad avetya prati svam api śatrum
Verse 5
haris tu puru-sadbhir vimṛgya parinaṣṭam

mṛgendra-pada-cihnaiḥ prapadya giri-deśam
dadarśa saha sarvair hataṁ ca sa mṛgeśam
Verse 6
athatra padam ṛkṣa-prabhos ca sa luloke

tadīya-padam ṛcchan jagama girir okam
viveśa tad amatvakhilasya nija-śokam
Verse 7
praviśya sa maharkṣa-prakṛṣṭa-puru-gamī
apaśyad atha ratnaṁ tadīya-hṛti-kamī
yad eva kila dhatrīm upetya sukumaraḥ
vihara-padam agat tad ṛkṣa-kula-saraḥ
Verse 8
sa-ratnam ajihīrṣan murarir iti dhatrī
akujad ati-bhīta sa-kampatara-gatrī
sa bhalla-kula-mukhyas tadatha hata-buddhiḥ
babhuva saha tena prakṛṣya kṛta-buddhiḥ
Verse 9
sahaṣṭadaśa-yugmaṁśa tena divasanam
vyadhata yugam uccair anudyad avasanam
vihṛtya mura-vairī sa tena cira-kalam
cakara karuṇaktaṁ svakīyam iva balam
Verse 10
sa catha hrdi śuddhas tam etya gati-saram
nivedya nijam agaḥ prasannam akṛtaram
syamantam api kanyaṁ dade tu vara-bhaktya
sa jambavad-abhikhyaḥ paraṁ ca para-śaktya
Verse 11
sa-kanya-maṇi-ragan murarir atha geham
samarpya maṇim īśe nananda valiteham
traparta-mati-satrajid atra nija-kanyam
maṇiṁ ca mura-śatrav aditsad ati-dhanyam
Verse 12
murarir atha kanyam iyeṣa na tu ratnam
sa-bhaktir iha sa yat paraṁ tu kṛta-yatnam
dravantam atha satrajitas tu kṛta-ghatam
syamanta-haram akrurakadi-mata-yatam
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.
Verse 13
sametya yadu-vṛndaṁ pratoṣya bahu-karma
sa eṣa tava goṣṭha-kṣitīśa kṛta-śarma
vrajasya nayanaliṁ bibharti jita-tandraḥ
sadapi paripurṇas tvadīya-kula-candraḥ
Verse 1
When glorious Lord Kṛṣṇa entered the assembly, the people told Him, The sun-god has come to see Your feet."
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
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.
Verse 5
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.
Verse 6
Lord Kṛṣṇa found Jāmbavān's footprints, but not the jewel. Leaving the other people behind, Lord Kṛṣṇa followed the footprints into a mountain cave.
Verse 7
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.
Verse 8
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.
Verse 9
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.
Verse 10
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.
Verse 11
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.
Verse 12
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 byAkrura and others, Satadhanva killed Satrajit, stole the jewel, and fled. Lord Krsna pursued him, killed him, and later took the jewel from Akrura.
Verse 13
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.
