TRANSLATION

The great sage Maitreya continued: The instruction of Dhruva Maharaja’s
mother, Suniti, was actually meant for fulfilling his desired objective.
Therefore, after deliberate consideration and with intelligence and fixed
determination, he left his father’s house.

PURPORT

Both the mother and the son were lamenting Dhruva Maharaja’s being
insulted by his stepmother and his father’s not having taken any step on
this issue. But mere lamentation is useless—one should find out the means
to mitigate one’s lamentation. Thus both the mother and the son decided
to take shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord because that is the only
solution to all material problems. It is indicated in this connection
