Parallelly, Satrajit, a staunch devotee of the Sun, acquires a unique jewel Syamantaka as a boon that bestows a vast amount of gold daily. Knowing it, Krishna requests him to hand over it for proper utilization, which Satrajit refuses and develops animosity with Krishna. Meanwhile, Satyabhama, the daughter of Satrajit, falls for Krishna when her father forcibly fixes her alliance with Satadhanva. Once Prasena, the sibling of Satrajit, moves to hunt wearing the jewel where, a lion slaughters him and runs off with the jewel, which has been picked up by Jambavanta and gifts to his daughter Jambavati.
Satrajit now denounces Krishna as a homicide, so he lands in the forest to remove his mar. He detects the Jambavanta possesses it, and the war erupts between them for 28 days. At that moment, he realizes Krishna is a reincarnation of Rama, who has arrived to fulfill his vow to have a duel with him. Soon, Jambavanta endorses the jewel with his daughter to him. After return, Krishna retrieves it to Satrajit when he feels guilty, ergo, entrusts it to Satyabhama.
