Another example: Akrura thought, “I have hidden the Syamantaka jewel which gives wealth, and fled away. In anxiety because of this despicable act, until today, happiness has disappeared from my heart.”

Similarly, just to please Kṛṣṇa, Akrūra stole the Syamantaka maṇi, a stone which can produce unlimited quantities of gold, but later on he repented his stealing. This is another instance of ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa in doubt caused by stealing.
