Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 4, Ch. 9]
tvam —you;  yataḥ —wherefrom;  na —never;  āvartate —will come back;  gataḥ —having gone there.
TRANSLATION
The Personality of Godhead continued: My dear Dhruva, after your material life in this body, you will go to My planet, which is always offered obeisances by the residents of all other planetary systems. It is situated above the planets of the seven  ṛṣis , and when you go there you never have to come back again to this material world.
PURPORT
In this verse the word  nāvartate  is very significant. The Lord says, “You will not come back to this material world because you will reach  mat-sthānam , My abode.” Therefore Dhruvaloka, or the Pole Star, is the abode of Lord Viṣṇu within this material world. Upon it there is an ocean of milk, and within that ocean there is an island known as Śvetadvīpa. It is clearly indicated that this planet is situated above the seven planetary systems of the  ṛṣis , and because this planet is Viṣṇuloka, it is worshiped by all other planetary systems. It may be questioned here what will happen to the planet known as Dhruvaloka at the time of the dissolution of this universe. The answer is simple: Dhruvaloka remains, like other Vaikuṇṭhalokas, beyond this universe. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura has commented in this connection that the very word  nāvartate  indicates that this planet is eternal.
