To the king Uttaanpaada, the son of Manu, his wife Suruchi was extremely dear. The other wife Suneeti being ignored by her husband, was helpless and took shelter in Thee alone who are eternal refuge of the helpless.

Seeing Uttama, Suruchi’s son, seated on his father’s lap, Suneeti’s son Dhruva also tried to get up. But as a result, the child was severly scolded by Suruchi. Indeed, jealousy cannot be given up, by those who are not devoted to Thee.

3. Devotion – Sanskrit


The hen-pecked king who was under the influence of Thy Maayaa, silently looked on as Dhruva was scolded by Suruchi. Hurt for being scolded, Dhruva then went to his own mother Suneeti who advised him that the only way to overcome the evils of ones own past actions is to seek shelter at Thy feet.आक्य्म सोऽपप भवदच्मतनणशचतातमामानी तनरेतय नगराणतकल पञचवष्मः ।सनदृषटनारदतनवेहदतमनत्रमाग्मस ्तवामारराध तपसा मधुकाननानत े॥The self respecting Dhruva, who was only five years of age, hearing his mother’s words, became determined to worship Thee, and so left the town. In the forest of Madhuvana, he propitiated Thee by penance, following the method of Mantra japa and the Mantra given to him by Naarada, whom he had met on the way.तात ेपवष्णहृदये नगरीं गतनेश्ीनारदेन पररसाणनतवतचचत्वतृ्ौ ।्बालसतवदपप्मतमनाः क्मवचध्मतनेतननये कठोरतपसा ककल पञच मासान ्॥The king who was full of remorse, was pacified and consoled by Naarada who had gone to the town. Dhruva, the boy with his mind fixed on Thee, spent five months in severe penance, with increasing intensity.तावत्पो्बलतनरुच्छवलसते हदगनतेदेवाच््मतसतवमुदयतकरुणार््मचेताः ।तवर्पूचचर्सतनलीनमतःे पुरसता-दापव्ब्मभूपव् पवभो! गरुडिाचधरूढः ॥


Then, when all around in all the directions there was suffocation by the power of Dhruva’s penance, the devas were seeking relief. Then, Thou surging with compassion, appeared seated on Garuda, in front of Dhruva, whose mind was absorbed in contemplation of the Supreme Consciousness Bliss which had assumed Thy form.

तवददश्मनप्मदभारतरङचगतं तं

दृग्यां तनमगनलमव रूपरसायने त े।

तुषटूषमाणमवगमय कपोलदेशे

संसपषृटवानलस दरेण त्ाऽऽदरेण ॥

At Thy divine sight, Dhruva was completely overwhelmed and was full of the the waves of Bliss and ecstasy. As his eyes were submerged in the nectar of Thy entrancing form he was desirous of singing Thy praise. Realising his incapability of finding words, Thou with great affection touched his cheek with the conch.

तावदपव्बोधपवमलं प्णुवनतमेन-

माभाष्ासतवमवगमय तदीयभावम ्।

राजयं चचरं समनुभूय भजसव भूयः

सववोत्रं ध्ुव पदं पवतनवपृत्हीनम ्॥

He then sang Thy praise profusely, having been purified and enlightened by pure knowledge. Knowing what he had in mind, Thou blessed him to enjoy the kingdom for long and then attain the loftiest of states, that of Dhruva, from where there is no return to lower states.


इतयूचुपष तवतय गत ेनपृननदनोऽसा-

वानणनदताखखलजनो नगरीमुपेतः ।

रेमे चचरं भवदनुग्रहपूण्मकामस ्तात ेगत ेच वनमादृतराजयभारः ॥

When Thou disappeared after having said so, this prince Dhruva came back to town delighting all people. When his father had gone to the forest, taking over the administration of the kingdom, with all his aspirations fulfilled by Thy grace, he lived happily for a long time.

यषिेण देव तनहत ेपुनरुत्मेऽणसमन ्यषिैः स युदधतनरतो पवरतो मनू्तया ।

शानतया प्सननहृदयादधनदादपेुतात ्तवदभण्तमेव सुदृढामवणृोनमहातमा ॥

When Uttama, Dhruva’s brother was killed by Yaksha, Dhruva battled with Yaksha, but withdrew on Manu’s advice. Pleased with Dhruva’s peaceful nature, Kuber came and offered him a boon, but the great soul asked only for firm devotion to Thee.

अनत ेभवतपुरुषनीतपवमानयातो

मात्रा समं ध्ुवपदे मुहदतोऽयमासत े।

एवं सवभतृयजनपालनलोलधीसतवं

वातालयाचधप! तनरुणनध ममामयौघान ्॥

Finally, leaving along with his mother in the celestial car brought by Thy attendents, he is even now living happily in Dhruvaloka. O Lord of Guruvaayur! Who are ever intent on protecting Thy devotees, cure my hoards of ailments.
