The Symantaka Gem was an ornament of Surya - the Sun God. It was a magical charm, which had strange effects on its possessor. It did good to a virtuous person and bad to an evil one. When Surya pleased with his devotee, prince Satrajit, presented him with this gem, no one foresaw the violent upheavals it would cause. Satrajit gave the gem to his brother, Prasena, who was killed by a lion, Jambavan, king of the bears killed the lion and carried off the gem. But since Krishna had admired the gem, he was suspected of stealing it. to save his honor, Krishna went on a desperate hunt to the jungle. The adventures that follow make interesting reading. They are narrated in this book, which is based on the version that appears in Bhagawat Purana (Srimad Bhagavatam). It is said that Krishna looked at the moon on chaturthi (the fourth day after the full moon) and was immediately accused of stealing the gem. Till today, the superstitious do not look at the moon on Chaturthi for fear that they be accused of theft.
