Bhagawatham-10.09-Syamanthakopakhyanam


Jai Sreenathji

Once Krishna wanted to have the Syamanthaka Mani ,Jewel, from king Satrajit,who got it from the Bhagawan Surya,may be Krishna was not interested in the Mani,but his daughter Satyabhama.But Satrajit refused to give the Mani to Krishna and once when his brother Prasenan, wore this jewel and went for Hunting. One Lion ate the hunter and the jewel went into it's stomach. Jambhavan the monkeyshreshta killed the Lion and gave the Mani to his daughter Jambhavathi for playing. Since he lost the mani , Satrajit thought Krishna had stolen the mani and the public called Krishna as Mani Choran. Krishna wanted to find where the Mani is and he traced the lion's foot-prints and then went to Jambhavan . Jambhavan refused to give the Mani and did not know who Krishna actually is and there followed a battle between him and Krishna.At the end of the battle, Jambhavan came to know that only Vishnu Bhagawan can win over him as he is the Bhaktha of Lord Rama and immediately fell on the feet of Krishna and asked for the pardon. And in appreciation gave his daughter Jambhavathi as wife to Krishna. And also gave the Syamanthaka Mani as a dowry to Him. Krishna gave the Mani to Satrajit and then Satrajit fell on Krishna's feet for his blemishes in blaming Krishna for the Mani's loss. He too gave his daughter Satyabhama in marriage to Krishna along with the Mani . Krishna accepted Satyabhama but gave the jewel back to Satrajit and told him that if he so wishes he can send the gold he gets every day from the Mani to the State of Dwaraka which He will use for good purposes and it is told that Krishna used to get 1000 tolas of gold every day from this Mani from Satrajit as dowry !!
Satrajit had given word to Shatadanwa that Satyabhama will be given to him and when Shatadanwa came to know that Satyabhama was married to Krishna he took revenge by killing Satrajit and taking the Syamanthaka Mani from him , on the advise of Akruran and Krithavarma. Krishna comes to know that Satrajit is killed by Shatadanwa and goes after him. Meanwhile, Shatadanwa gives the Mani to Akruran and goes away. But Krishna chases and kills him by His Sudarshana Chakram. But the Mani was missing on his body. Finally Krishna gets the Mani from Akruran who is a Bhagawat Bhakthan.
Then Krishna married Kalindi and Mitravinda,even though her brothers Vindan and Anuvindan were against this marriage,Mitravinda herself was interested in the mariage with Krishan. Then Krishan married the daughter of Nagnajith, Sathya after winning the competition of tying the seven oxes at one time. Then Bhadra was given in marriage to Krishna by her brother Santhardanan. Then by arrowing down the fish whose reflection only was seen in the pond of water , which could not be done even by Duryadhana,Jarasanthan or Arjuna, Krishna married Lakshmana. With this marriage Krishna had all the eight Lakshmies as wives .
Then Krishna killed Murasura and Narakasura by His Sudarshana Chakram.After that He married the sixteen thousand girls who were jailed by Narakasura.Rukmini's san Pradyumnan having chaeted by Sambaran,killed Sambaran and married Ratidevi and came back to Dwaraka ,also married Rugmavathi,the daughter of Rugmi. Rugmavathi's son Anirudhan married Rochana the daughter of Rugmi's son.
