bhagavÄn Äha na maṇiá¹

vayaá¹ ca phala-bhÄginaḥ
bhagavÄn - the Supreme Lord; Äha - said; na - not; maṇim - the jewel; pratÄ«cchÄmaḥ - desire back; vayam - We; ná¹›pa - O King; tava - yours; ÄstÄm - let it remain; deva - of the demigod (the sun-god SÅ«rya); bhaktasya - the devotee's; vayam - We; ca - also; phala - of its fruits; bhÄginaḥ - enjoyers.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead told SatrÄjit: We do not care to take this jewel back, O King. You are the sun-god’s devotee, so let it stay in your possession. Thus We will also enjoy its benefits.
SatrÄjit should have worshiped Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme God. Thus there is certainly a touch of irony in Lord Kṛṣṇa’s saying “After all, you are a devotee of the sun-god.†Furthermore, Kṛṣṇa had already acquired SatrÄjit’s greatest treasure, the pure and beautiful SatyabhÄmÄ.
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupÄda to the Tenth Canto, Fifty-sixth Chapter, of the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, entitled “The Syamantaka Jewel.â€
