Nara Narayana
1939, Bengali. Directed by Jyotish Bandyopadhyay.
Lord Krishna visits Suryapith with his friend Akrur, where they meet Satyabhama, the daughter of Satrajeet. Akrur proposes to Satyabhama, but she addresses him as a brother, leading him to resent Krishna. Satyabhama, however, falls in love with Krishna. Unaware, Satrajeet arranges Satyabhama’s marriage with Kritabarma. Meanwhile, Jarasandha, the king of Magadh, desires the Syamantak gem to win Jambavati’s hand in marriage. His ally, Satadhanya, also covets Satyabhama. When Satadhanya attacks Satrajeet to seize the gem, Krishna intervenes, defeating him and protecting Satrajeet and Satyabhama. However, Satrajeet distrusts Krishna, hiding the gem with his brother, Prasan. When Prasan is killed by Jarasandha’s spy, who is then slain by Jambavan, Krishna retrieves the gem from Jambavan after defeating him. Later, during Krishna and Satyabhama's wedding, Satyabhama and Akrur kill Satrajeet to seize the gem but are ultimately defeated by Krishna.
