SATRĀJIT, SATRĀJITA. Son of Nighna. In return for praise rendered to the sun he beheld the luminary in his proper form, and received from him the wonderful Syamantaka gem. He lost the gem, but it was recovered and restored to him by Krishna. In return he presented Krishna with his daughter Satya-bhāmā to wife. There had been many suitors for this lady’s hand, and one of them, named Sata-dhanwan, in revenge for her loss, killed Satrājit and carried off the gem, but he was afterwards killed by Krishna.
