26 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 10, Ch. 1

example is Dhruva Maharaja, who at the end of his tapasya was fully
satisfied. When the Lord wanted to give Dhruva a benediction, Dhruva
refused it. Svdmin krtartho ’smi varam na ydce. ““My dear Lord,”’ he
said, “I am fully satisfied. I do not ask for any benediction for material
sense gratification.” We actually see that even young boys and girls in
the Krsna consciousness movement have given up their long practice of
bad habits like illicit sex, meat-eating, intoxication and gambling. Be-
cause Krsna consciousness is so potent that it gives them full satisfaction,
they are no longer interested in material sense gratification.
