TRANSLATION

Lord Keśava arrived in Dvārakā and described the demise of Śatadhanvā and His own failure to find the Syamantaka jewel. He spoke in a way that would please His beloved, Satyabhāmā.


PURPORT

Naturally Queen Satyabhāmā was pleased to hear that her father's murderer had been brought to justice. But her father's Syamantaka jewel still had to be recovered, and thus she was also pleased to hear of Lord Kṛṣṇa's determination to recover it.
