महामणिव्रातमये स तस्मिन्भवनोत्तमे । लालितो नितरां पित्रा न्यवसद्दिवि देववत् ॥ ६० ॥
mahāmaṇi-vrātamaye sa tasmin bhavanottame lālito nitarāṁ pitrā nyavasad divi devavat
Sesudah itu Dhruva Mahārāja tinggal di istana ayahnya yang termulia, berhias gugusan permata amat berharga. Sang ayah merawatnya dengan kasih yang mendalam, dan Dhruva berdiam di sana laksana para dewa di istana-istana alam tinggi.
