Krsna was, as usual, doing many things at once for His pleasure. He

was showing that He did not steal the jewel, He was enjoying a good

fight with his eternal associate, Jambavan, He was manifesting before

His servitor for his pleasure, He was gaining His wife Jambavati, and

getting back the jewel all at once. And all of it was for His

pleasure. He had nothing to prove outside of the obvious that He is

the Supreme Enjoyer. If He does act in a way which is according to

some material understanding, it is simply to establish the proper

actions for all mankind by giving a good example.
