Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaSatrājit (सत्राजित्).—A King of the Yādavas. It is mentioned in Bhāgavata Skandha 9, that he was the son of Nimna and the brother of Prasena. (To know the previous birth of Satrājit see under Satyabhāmā). Śrī Kṛṣṇa married Satyabhāmā the daughter of Satrājit. In connection with the jewel Syamantaka, Kṛtavarmā caused Satrājit to be murdered. (More details about Satrājit occur under the entries Prasena, Kṛtavarmā, (Para 2) and Satyabhāmā).
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.

[He got the Syamantaka jewel from the Sun and always wore it round his neck. He afterwards gave it to his brother Prasena, from whom it passed into the hands of the monkey-chief Jāmbavat, who got possession of it after having killed Prasena. Kṛṣṇa, however, overtook Jāmbavat and vanquished him in fight after a long struggle. The monkeychief thereupon presented it along with his daughter to Kṛṣṇa; see जाम्बवत् (jāmbavat). Kṛṣṇa then gave the jewel back to its proper owner Satrājit, who out of gratitude presented it along with his daughter Satyabhāmā to him. Afterwards when Satyabhāmā was at her father's house with the jewel, Śatadhanvan, at the instigation of a Yādava named Akrūra who desired the jewel for himself, killed Satrājit and gave it to Akrūra. Śatadhanvan was afterwards killed by Kṛṣṇa, but when he found that the jewel was with Akrūra, he allowed him to retain it with himself after having once shown it to the people.]

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
