लाल्यमानं जनैरेवं ध्रुवं सभ्रातरं नृप: । आरोप्य करिणीं हृष्ट: स्तूयमानोऽविशत्पुरम् ॥ ५३ ॥
lālyamānaṁ janair evaṁ dhruvaṁ sabhrātaraṁ nṛpaḥ āropya kariṇīṁ hṛṣṭaḥ stūyamāno ’viśat puram
یوں لوگوں کی محبت بھری تعریف کے درمیان دھرو اپنے بھائی سمیت تھا۔ بادشاہ نہایت خوش ہوا، اس نے دونوں کو ایک ہتھنی کی پیٹھ پر بٹھایا اور سب کی ستائش کے ساتھ دارالحکومت میں داخل ہوا۔
This verse shows that Dhruva was publicly cherished and praised, and the king honored him with a royal procession—illustrating how devotees are naturally respected by society and rulers.
To formally celebrate Dhruva’s return and recognize his extraordinary achievement and stature, the king arranged a ceremonial entry, seating Dhruva (with Uttama) on a royal elephant while citizens praised him.
Genuine spiritual effort and integrity earn lasting respect; when success comes, accept recognition with humility and use it to inspire others toward devotion and discipline.
