TRANSLATION
If you at all desire to rise to the throne of the King, then you have to
undergo severe austerities. First of all you must satisfy the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead, Narayana, and then, when you are favored by Him
because of such worship, you shall have to take your next birth in my
womb.
PURPORT
Suruci was so envious of Dhruva Maharaja that she indirectly asked him
to change his body. According to her, first of all he had to die, then take
his next body in her womb, and only then would it be possible for Dhruva
Maharaja to ascend the throne of his father.
