Srimad Bhagavatam — Chaturtha Skandha, Shloka 38
Dhruva’s Benediction from Kuvera and His Ascension to Viṣṇuloka
Dhruvaloka
इत्युत्तानपद: पुत्रो ध्रुव: कृष्णपरायण: । अभूत्त्रयाणां लोकानां चूडामणिरिवामल: ॥ ३८ ॥
ity uttānapadaḥ putro dhruvaḥ kṛṣṇa-parāyaṇaḥ abhūt trayāṇāṁ lokānāṁ cūḍā-maṇir ivāmalaḥ
于是，乌塔那帕达王之贤子、全然归依克里希纳的德鲁瓦王，成为三界境位之巅如无垢冠珠般的至洁明宝。
The exact Sanskrit terminology for Kṛṣṇa consciousness is here mentioned: kṛṣṇa-parāyaṇaḥ. Parāyaṇa means “going forward.” Anyone who is going forward to the goal of Kṛṣṇa is called kṛṣṇa-parāyaṇa, or fully Kṛṣṇa conscious. The example of Dhruva Mahārāja indicates that every Kṛṣṇa conscious person can expect to reach the topmost summit of all three planetary systems within the universe. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person can occupy an exalted position beyond the imagination of any ambitious materialist.
