NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 80 - SYAMANTAKA MANI

Dasakam - 80 - Symantaka Mani

Satraajit, a yadhava, prayed to Sun-god and got Syamantaka Mani, a priceless jewel as gift. Krishna asked Satraajit to give that jewel to him. Reasons for asking could have been many, but one main reason could be the strategy to marry his daughter Sathyabhama, who was in love with Krishna. Narrow minded Satrajit did not give it to Krishna, instead gave it to his brother Prasena. When he wore it around his neck and went for hunting, a lion thinking the jewel is flesh, attacked and killed him and took it. Jaambavaan, King of all animals, killed the lion and took the jewel and gifted it to his child.

Satraajit announced that Krishna has stolen the jewel and people believed it too. A small blemish in conduct, if found in good people, everyone will keep talking about it with great interest. Krishna knew everything that has happened to the jewel but still he took his men and went in search of the jewel. He came across Prasena lying dead and nearby another lion too dead. The footsteps of monkey seen, led him to cave of Jaambavaan. Due to old age, Jaambavaan failed to recognise Krishna and exclaimed that no one can win him, who has Mukundan as the saviour. With prayers to Lord Ram, he did pooja for (fought with) Krishna with the blow of fists for long time, for almost 21 days. 

Later Jaambavaan recognised that the person whom he fought with is Sri Krishna himself and gave his beautiful daughter Jaambhavati in marriage to Krishna and returned the syamantaka mani. Krishna returned the jewel to Satraajit. Satraajit felt ashamed and embarrassed that he had accused Krishna wrongly. He had verbally promised Kadanva that he will give his daughterin marriage to him But after this incident, he gave his daughter, the beautiful eyed Satyabhama in marriage to Krishna and gifted the Syamantaka mani also. Having received the stree ratnam Sathyabhama itself, Krishna was happy and hence returned the jewel to Satraajit himself.

Krishna was having a delightful time with Satyabhama. News of Kunti's sons burnt in wax palace reached Krishna and he immediately left to Hastinapur. Meanwhile with promptings of Akrura and Kritivermaa, Shatadanva killed Satraajit and took away the syamantaka mani. Hearing about the father's death, Satyabhama was struck with grief and she reached Hastinapur. Krishna immediately killed Shatadanva and pleased Satyabhama. Balaram went to Mithila and there, he trained Duryodhana in the art of wielding the mace. 

Akrurar, extremely devoted to Krishna, had prompted the killing of Satraajit, due to his love for Krishna in order to avenge for the blame, Satrajit put on Krishna initially. Krishna did not take the jewel from Akrurar but let him keep the jewel himself. Krishna in his mind, wanted to bring prosperity to Akrura and hence did not recover the jewel and blessed him. Akrurar was humbled by the magnanimity shown by Krishna to him. Still once again, Akrurar fled in fear along with Kritivermaa. Krishna brought Akrurar back along with the jewel and showed it to Balaram and others. Krishna let Akrurar, the one who does virtuous deeds, have the jewel for himself. Bhattathiri worshipped that Lord who spent his time happily with Satyabhama to protect him from his ailments.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 73 - MATHURAPURI YATRA

Dasakam - 73 - Mathurapuri Yatra

Gopikas heard the news of Krishna planning to leave to Mathura with Akrurar. They were deeply saddened and lamented as to what was that? How and why it was happening? This son of Nandagopan is ocean of mercy, how can he leave us, who have no support otherwise. Why did God do this to us. Fixing their minds on Krishna, the gopikas lamented and cried.

Krishna was to leave along with father and friends in the last part of the night. Krishna sent one of his companions to console the grief struck gopikas. He sent the word of promise that he will be back soon and they will have many more meetings with him. He further consoled them by saying that he will give them more pleasure and drown them in supreme bliss.

Gopikas with great sorrow worshipped Krishna and followed him with their eyes for a long distance. Krishna too glanced through the corner of his eyes at the direction of gopikas and left with Balarama in Akrurar's chariot. Many gopas followed the chariot in their own chariots and even gopikas followed Krishna through their thoughts. Animals in the forest felt very sorrowful. The trees and creepers on the way too drooped. Krishna crossed all these and came to the Yamuna river bank.

As the chariot reached Yamuna river bank, Akrurar, son of Gandhinee got down to take bath in the river and do his daily ritualistic prayers. When he took a dip in water he saw Krishna in the water and when he lifted up from water, saw Krishna seated on the chariot. He became helpless not knowing what it is all about and wondered at the omnipresent swaroopam of Krishna which is seen everywhere and became excited.

The virtuous Akrurar took a dip in the water once again. He saw Lord seated on Adisesha, adorned with the discus, conch, mace and lotus and surrounded by other Devas, siddha purushas and gods. Immersed in supreme bliss, Akrurar worshipped Krishna as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and as devas in saguna and nirguna forms. Even after the vision disappeared, Akrurar continued to be soaked in the unlimited bliss, experienced goosebumps all over the body and came to Krishna seated on the chariot.

 Krishna asked Akrurar whether the water was so cold and is that the reason he got goosebumps all over. However Akrurar was speechless as he was completely immersed in the supreme bliss which was caused by his vision of the Lord's form. Bhattathiri worshipped that Lord Form which was seated besides Akrurar in the chariot and prayed that he may be protected. Lord Guruvayoorappan acknowledged his request immediately.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 72 - AKRURAR'S JOURNEY

Dasakam - 72 - Akrurar's Journey

Kamsan came to know from sage Narada that Krishna, Devaki's eighth son is living in Gokula. He became scared and upset. He immediately summoned Akrurar, son of Gaandhini to meet Krishna and invite him and Balarama to his Dhanur yagna festival. Akrurar had always been a devotee of Krishna for a long time. He hid his longingness to meet Krishna for fear of Kamsan. When Kamsan himself ordered him to meet Krishna, he was overwhelmed with joy and set out on his chariot to meet Lord.

The fortunate Akrurar, on his way to Vraja was constantly thinking of Krishna. He was praying continuously that he should not encounter obstacles in meeting Krishna, so much that he was oblivious of surroundings on the way. While vedic texts offer hundreds of ways to reach Lord, Akrurar wondered if, he will be able to see him, be able to touch him, be able to embrace him, be able to talk to him. Thinking over these, Akrurar went to vraja assuming Krishna to be present everywhere all along the way.

Akrurar reached Brindavana which was sanctified by the holy feet of Krishna and worshipped by Brahma, Parameshwaran and other gods. He was in a state of unexplainable bliss and ecstasy. He worshipped the places where Krishna played. He rolled on the sand where he found Krishna's footprints. At this point, Bhattathiri mentioned that amongst so many devotees in the world then, ardent devotees like Akrurar were still rare to find.

Akrurar passed by the house of gopikas who were singing about various sportive actions of Krishna. It was like sweet nectar flowing in to his ears which took him to a state of bliss and spiritual joy. Finally he reached Krishna's house by dusk. Krishna and Balarama were overseeing milking of cows and it appeared as if Krishna was waiting for the devotee's arrival. Krishna was exhibiting the same internal divine feelings and experiences which Akrurar felt about Krishna on his way to Vraja.

Krishna and Balarama looked fresh and tidy after evening bath and were decked with less jewellery but looking more beautiful. They wore a peethambaram on hip and were sporting a gentle, attractive smile. Krishna spotted Akrurar, the crown of the clan of devotees from distance as he got down from the chariot. Akrura, chief of devotees prostrated to Krishna and Balarama. Krishna lifted him with joy, embraced him and enquired his well-being and led him inside the house.

Krishna and Nandagopa did honours to Akrurar, belonging to Yadavakula. Akrurar conveyed the message of Kamsa to them and Krishna communicated the same to the gopas. Rest of the night, Krishna spent time conversing and exchanging matters with Akrurar at Gokula. That night Gopikas wondered if Krishna spent time with chandrai or chandrabagai or Radha or Mitravrindaa and having fun and forgot the rest of them. Bhattathiri prayed to the Lord who is friendly and loved by everyone to protect him from his disease.
