From the union of Jambavati-Krishna, a great son was born, who was named Samba. It was because of this Samba that the Krishna clan was destroyed. Shri Krishna said that only a celibate and restrained person has the right to keep this gem as a heritage, so Shri Krishna gave that gem to Akrurji. He said Akrur, keep it with you only.
