ध्रुवचर्याकीर्तनं / Dhruva-caryā-kīrtana
Account of Dhruva’s Course and Related Cosmological Ordering
ध्रुवः कीलो ग्रहाणां तु विभक्तानां चतुर्द्दिशम् / नक्षत्राणां श्रविष्ठा स्यादयनानां तथोत्तरम्
dhruvaḥ kīlo grahāṇāṃ tu vibhaktānāṃ caturddiśam / nakṣatrāṇāṃ śraviṣṭhā syādayanānāṃ tathottaram
For the grahas set out toward the four directions, Dhruva is like the peg of the cosmic axis. Among the nakṣatras is Śraviṣṭhā, and among the ayanas, Uttarāyaṇa (the northward course).
