Text 6] Dhruva Maharaja Returns Home 367
had already created a planet known as the Pole Star, Dhruvaloka, which
was never to be annihilated even at the time of the dissolution of the
universe. Dhruva Maharaja did not attain this perfection by acting
hastily, but by patiently executing the order of his spiritual master, and
therefore he became so successful that he saw the Lord face to face. Now
he was further enabled, by the causeless mercy of the Lord, to offer
fitting prayers to the Lord. To glorify or offer prayers unto the Supreme,
one needs the Lord’s mercy. One cannot write to glorify the Lord unless
one is endowed with His causeless mercy.

Dhruva Maharaja said: My dear Lord, You are all-powerful. After
