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
Được Nārada Muni khuyên dạy như thế, hoàng tử Dhruva đi nhiễu quanh bậc thầy, cúi lạy cung kính, rồi lên đường đến Madhuvana thanh tịnh, nơi in dấu chân sen của 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.
