At that time Narad went and explained to Indra - "You have considered Dhruva to be just an ordinary child. You cannot do any harm to him. You will have to be humiliated in vain. Indrapaad is like a straw of grass for Dhruva.
At last Lord Vishnu appeared pleased with Dhruva's penance. Dhruv, hugging the feet of Vishnu, remained speechless due to immense joy. He started thinking in his mind - "Lord! I want to praise you with all my heart. But I am a small child! I have no words to praise you!
On this Vishnu touched his conch shell on Dhruva's cheeks. In the second moment, hymns filled with the elements of the Vedas started coming out of Dhruv's mouth in the form of hymns. Vishnu laughingly asked - "Dhruv! Ask, what do you want?
Dhruv said with devotion - "O Supreme Person! As a bumblebee always clings to a lotus, so I wish to see your sweet smiling face forever! I want nothing more than this!
"Good thing! But first you go to your kingdom and rule by following the religion. After that you will reach the post of Dhruva, becoming the top part of my world form. Even after the Kalpantas, you will always be bright by taking that immovable post. By explaining like this, Lord Vishnu disappeared.
That's why the incarnation of Vishnu who gives grace to Dhruva is called 'Dhruv Narayanavatar'.
After this Dhruv came to his Mahishmati Puri. Uttanpad handed over his kingdom to Dhruva and went to do penance.
Uttamkumar was not married yet. According to Rajdharma, he went hunting to protect the public from wild animals. He was attacked and killed by evil yakshas in the mountainous forests of the Himalayas.
Saddened by the death of her son, Suruchi reached there and was burnt to ashes by getting trapped in the forest fire.
Dhruva surrounded the Yaksha Nagar Alkapuri to destroy the Yakshas. The illusory yakshas used their petty illusions on him. Dhruv defeated the Maya by making them unsuccessful with Narayan Astra. Yaksha-raj Kuber came to the shelter of Dhruv. Befriended them and sent them back after giving them property. Dhruv had many sons. He gave fame to the Swayambhuva Manuvansh by ideal governance for many years. After ruling for many years, Dhruva crowned his eldest son and went to Badrikashram. While meditating on Lord Vishnu there, he attained the golden body.
On the orders of Lord Vishnu, his servants brought a plane. Those people were also similar to Vishnu in appearance and they also had four hands.
Dhruv said to those messengers - "The post which is not available for my mother, I also do not need it. On this the messengers of Vishnu showed Suniti going ahead of them in a celestial plane. Dhruv was pleased to see this. They boarded the plane and crossed the planetary system, the constellation system and the seven sages and reached the pole position. Dhruv Mandal is also called Vishnu Pad. Vaikuntha, the abode of Vishnu, is also there. There is also Goloka in Dhruv Deti. In Goloka, Vishnu enjoys singing Venu Gana with Prakriti Swaroopini Radha Devi. There is a deep darkness over Goloka. Beyond that darkness, Vishnu becomes the resident of Vaikunth and shines! Dhruv always became dazzling with bright light seeing Vishnu. Saptarshi Mandal circumambulates him like a cow tied to a peg. The Shishumar Chakra full of all the planets revolves below them.
Below Goloka the abode of Brahma is Satyaloka, Tapaloka, Janaloka, Mahaloka, Swaloka, Bhuvaloka, Bhuloka, the seven upper worlds, and below Bhuloka called the underworld called Atal, Vitala, Sutal, Rasatal, Talatal, Mahatal and Patalalok. Above, on the Shivragraha of the world, the Pole becomes a guide for all the directions and shines in the form of Achalpad Nakshatra. If there is dedication, all small and big tasks can be done easily. The proof of this is Dhruv who used to do penance at the age of five. Having finished the story of Dhruva, Sage Sutmaharshi started narrating again:
