ध्रुवाय पथि दृष्टाय तत्र तत्र पुरस्त्रिय: । सिद्धार्थाक्षतदध्यम्बुदूर्वापुष्पफलानि च ॥ ५८ ॥ उपजह्रु: प्रयुञ्जाना वात्सल्यादाशिष: सती: । शृण्वंस्तद्वल्गुगीतानि प्राविशद्भवनं पितु: ॥ ५९ ॥
dhruvāya pathi dṛṣṭāya tatra tatra pura-striyaḥ siddhārthākṣata-dadhy-ambu- dūrvā-puṣpa-phalāni ca
Saat Dhruva Mahārāja tampak di jalan, para ibu rumah tangga yang lembut berkumpul dari berbagai tempat; karena kasih keibuan mereka memberkati beliau sambil menaburkan biji sesawi putih, jelai, dadih, air, rumput dūrvā yang muda, buah dan bunga. Mendengar nyanyian mereka yang merdu, Dhruva pun memasuki istana ayahnya.
This verse shows that when Dhruva was seen returning, people—especially the city women—honored him with auspicious offerings, reflecting reverence for a devotee blessed by the Lord.
These are traditional auspicious articles used to bless and honor someone returning in purity and success, and they expressed affectionate respect for Dhruva’s spiritual achievement.
Honor saintly people and spiritual practice with sincere respect—welcome goodness, devotion, and virtue in your home and community through supportive, uplifting actions.
