Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 40


Sanskrit:

एवं सामभिरालब्ध: श्वफल्कतनयो मणिम् ।आदाय वाससाच्छन्न: ददौ सूर्यसमप्रभम् ॥ ४० ॥

ITRANS:

evaṁ sāmabhir ālabdhaḥśvaphalka-tanayo maṇimādāya vāsasācchannaḥdadau sūrya-sama-prabham

Translation:

Thus shamed by Lord Kṛṣṇa’s conciliatory words, the son of Śvaphalka brought out the jewel from where he had concealed it in his clothing and gave it to the Lord. The brilliant gem shone like the sun.

Purport:

We can see in this chapter how a valuable jewel caused so much intrigue, violence and suffering. This is certainly a good lesson for those who desire a trouble-free spiritual life.
