Although Kṛṣṇa later asked for this Syamantaka jewel, King Satrājit did not deliver it

This is an example of a less intelligent person worshiping a material thing.

The word “materialist” means one concerned with gratification of the senses within this material worldKB 56: The Story of the Syamantaka Jewel

KB 48: Kṛṣṇa Pleases His Devotees

As stated in the Vedic versions, the Supreme Personality of Godhead has multipotencies. According to expert opinion, Kubjā represents the bhū-śakti potency of Kṛṣṇa, just as Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī represents His cit-śakti potency.

Although Kubjā requested Kṛṣṇa to remain with her for some days, Kṛṣṇa politely impressed upon her that it was not possible for Him to stay.

Kṛṣṇa visits this material world occasionally, whereas His connection with the spiritual world is eternal. Kṛṣṇa is always present either in the Vaikuṇṭha planets or in the Goloka Vṛndāvana planet.

The technical term of His presence in the spiritual world is aprakaṭa-līlā.

To worship Kṛṣṇa or have association with Him is not very easy. Specifically, there is a warning for devotees attracted to Kṛṣṇa through conjugal love: it is not good for them to desire sense gratification by direct association with Kṛṣṇa.

My dear Lord, I certainly promise to only eat Prasadam,

but I do ask that whatever Prasadam I

have be of good quality.

It is interesting that our story, a place to chant the Names, starts with the contrasting materialist and the Bhauma-lila Dhama.Is it that we are mixed devotees, like King Satrajit, allowed to join ISKCON feasts, but we have to be careful to go beyond just relief.
