Dhruva’s Humiliation, Sunīti’s Counsel, and Nārada’s Bhakti-Yoga Instruction
इत्युक्तस्तं परिक्रम्य प्रणम्य च नृपार्भक: । ययौ मधुवनं पुण्यं हरेश्चरणचर्चितम् ॥ ६२ ॥
ity uktas taṁ parikramya praṇamya ca nṛpārbhakaḥ yayau madhuvanaṁ puṇyaṁ hareś caraṇa-carcitam
Así aconsejado por el sabio Nārada, el príncipe Dhruva lo circunvaló, se postró con respeto y partió hacia el sagrado Madhuvana, santificado por las huellas de loto de Hari.
This verse shows Dhruva leaving for sacred Madhuvana—described as purified by Lord Hari’s lotus feet—indicating that holy places support focused devotion and remembrance of the Lord.
Because Nārada was his spiritual guide; Dhruva honored him with pranāma and parikramā before acting on the instructions for devotional practice.
Receive guidance from authentic devotees/teachers, show humility and gratitude, and then commit to a dedicated environment (time/place/routine) that strengthens steady spiritual practice.
