She must be able to get us out of this predicament”, he suggested coyly. Satyabhama was at a loss for words when Krishna continued, “Why don’t you ask Rukmini. Krishna, the master, told her, “Look Satyabhama, because of your stupid vow, I have to be a slave to this rishi. Tulabharam Shri Krishna Shri Krishna teases Satyabhama Out of their devotion to their lord, the wives removed every gold ornament on their body until they were wearing only the Mangalsutra.
I can even bid him out to anyone I want.” Satyabhama freaked out and swallowing her pride, begged the other wives of Krishna to give her their jewels so thet they could retain Krishna. To top it all Narada kept giving her ominous warnings, “Remember devi, if you fail to supply me with sufficient wealth, Krishna will forever be a slave to me. She kept adding more and more of her wealth, but the pan with Krishna did not even budge. She then placed Krishna on one plate of the Scales and with a smirk on her face started piling up the gold, jewels and gemstones on the other plate. She wants to win him back with riches and ornaments Amidst loud sighs of relief, Satyabhama agreed to it. As decided, Narada gave this option to Satyabhama. In order to win back the Lord, She had to provide jewellery equal to the weight if Shri Krishna. Then as per the wishes of Narada, She gave Shri Krishna to Narada. Krishna was silent throughout the entire time. Their mouths further fell when they saw box after box of gold being carried inside. All the ministers stared at the scales that had been placed at the center of the court. And gently leading Krishna, she went to the Courtroom. She also sent the caretaker of the coffers to bring out all her jewels and gold to the grand court room. Satyabhama then commanded one of the servants to bring out the large scales used to weigh grains and groceries. The lord patiently listened to her and very meekly nodded his head. She agreed and approached Krishna and told him about her unfortunate vow to Sage Narada.
Narada – The omnipresent sage Satyabhama plans to impress Krishna In this way Shri Krishna will remain to her as this would prove her devotion towards Shri Krishna. Later on, He would trade Shri Krishna with her with equal weight of gold. Sage Narada placed his card carefully – he said to Satyabhama that she needs to hand over Shri Krishna to him as a slave. Baffled by this, she said to him that what she can do get the Lord’s undivided attention. One day, Sage Narada came to Satyabhama and said that though she is beautiful and charming, Shri Krishna loves Rukmini more. Rukmini was very humble, though she was the incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi. Satyabhama belonged to a royal lineage and was very proud of her origins. Sage Narada as usual, has played a role into this as well. This is the beautiful story of Shri Krishna and his two wives Satyabhama and Rukmini, which underlines the importance of devotion.
