Once there lived a king by the name of Satrajit. He had secured the precious jewel, Syamantaka, from Surya. Satrajit was very fond of the jewel and always kept it with himself. One day, Krishna arrived in his court and asked for the jewel, but Satrajit refused to give it to him.

One day, when Satrajit was out of the palace, his younger brother Prasena stole the jewel from the safe and wore it during a hunting expedition. Unfortunately, the jewel fell on the ground when Prasena died fighting a lion. Jambavan, Sugreeva's minister, found the jewel and gave it to his son to play.

Satrajit discovered that the jewel was no longer in the safe. When Prasena did not return he thought Krishna had forcefully taken the jewel after killing him. When Krishna heard this, he immediately set out to look for the jewel. On reaching the forest, he found Jambavan's son playing with it.

Thinking Krishna to be a thief, Jambavcan attacked him, but he soon recognised him and begged forgiveness. He returned the jewel to Krishna and also asked him to marry his daughter Jambavati.

Accompanied by his newly wedded wife, Jambavati, Krishna returned victorious to his palace in Dwarka. One day, he visited Satrajit's court and returned the jewel in front of everyone.

Satrajit felt ashamed for foolishly accusing Krishna and asked for mercy. He asked Krishna to marry his daughter Satyabhama. Krishna married her in a grand ceremony. When it was time for Krishna to leave, Satrajit also offered him the Syamantaka, but Krishna refused to accept it.
