Agharir Atha Sabhyaih Sabhantar Upavesi

Jiva Goswami

Verse 1

agharir atha sabhyaiḥ sabhantar upaveśī prajabhir abhiyataḥ sametya śubha-veśī 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."

Verse 2

hasaṁs tu harir uce na cayam ahimaṁśuḥ paraṁ tu bata satrajid eṣa maṇijaṁśuḥ 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.

Verse 3

haris tad-ati-garva-prakaśa-kṛti-kamaḥ nṛpaya maṇim asminn athardad anu ramaḥ 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.

Verse 4

yada tu sa-maṇiṁ taṁ jaghana vana-siṁhaḥ gabhīra-manasasīt tada ca yadu-siṁhaḥ 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.

Verse 5

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 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

athatra padam ṛkṣa-prabhos ca sa luloke maṇiṁ tu na hi tac ca pratītavati loke 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.

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

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

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

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

sahaṣṭadaśa-yugmaṁśa tena divasanam vyadhata yugam uccair anudyad avasanam 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

sametya yadu-vṛndaṁ pratoṣya bahu-karma sa eṣa tava goṣṭha-kṣitīśa kṛta-śarma 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.
