Lord Krishna’s son Samb suffers from severe leprosy

Samb, son of Lord Krishna and Jambavati, was very powerful as well as very handsome. The pride of his beauty caused his downfall. Once Rudravatar Durvasamuni came to Dwarkapuri. Samb ridiculed him after seeing Durvasa who was extremely weak from meditation. In anger, Durvasamuni cursed Samb that ‘You become a leper.’ The ridicule is bad; And the same thing happened. Lord Sri Krishna’s son Samb suffered from severe leprosy. Many remedies were done to cure the disease but his leprosy was not erased.

Samb prayed to eradicate leprosy

On the orders of Lord Krishna, Samb started worshiping the sun on the banks of river Chandrabhaga. Samb used to recite the Sahasranama of Lord Surya for the freedom from disease. One day Lord Surya appeared to Samb in a dream and said – “You do not need to praise me with Sahastranam.” I tell you my very dear and holy twenty-one names, from their recitation, you will get the result of Sahasranama. Those people who recite this hymn at the time of both evenings, they will get rid of all sins, get desired fruits, health, children etc. and will be free from all diseases.
