### SB 4.9.26

> मैत्रेय उवाच\
> इत्यर्चितः स भगवानतिदिश्यात्मनः पदम् ।\
> बालस्य पश्यतो धाम स्वमगाद्गरुडध्वजः ॥२६॥

> maitreya uvāca\
> ity arcitaḥ sa bhagavān\
> atidiśyātmanaḥ padam\
> bālasya paśyato dhāma\
> svam agād garuḍa-dhvajaḥ

*maitreyaḥ uvāca*—the great sage Maitreya continued to speak; *iti*—thus; *arcitaḥ*—being honored and worshiped; *saḥ*—the Supreme Lord; *bhagavān*—Personality of Godhead; *atidiśya*—after offering; *ātmanaḥ*—His personal; *padam*—residence; *bālasya*—while the boy; *paśyataḥ*—was looking on; *dhāma*—to His abode; *svam*—own; *agāt*—He returned; *garuḍa-dhvajaḥ*—Lord Viṣṇu, whose flag bears the emblem of Garuḍa.

**The great sage Maitreya said: After being worshiped and honored by the boy, Dhruva Mahārāja, and offering him His abode, Lord Viṣṇu returned to His abode on the back of Garuḍa as Dhruva Mahārāja looked on.**

From this verse it appears that Lord Viṣṇu awarded Dhruva Mahārāja the same abode in which He resides. His abode is described in the Bhagavad-gītā (15.6): yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama.
