इत्युत्तानपदः पुत्रो ध्रुवः कृष्णपरायणः । अभूत्त्रयाणां लोकानां चूडामणिरिवामलः ॥३८॥
ity uttānapadaḥ putro dhruvaḥ kṛṣṇa-parāyaṇaḥ abhūt trayāṇāṁ lokānāṁ cūḍā-maṇir ivāmalaḥ
WORD BY WORD
TRANSLATION
| In this way, the fully Kṛṣṇa conscious Dhruva Mahārāja, the exalted son of Mahārāja Uttānapāda, attained the summit of the three statuses of planetary systems.
|
PURPORT
| 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.
