Significado
When Dhruva Mahārāja was in the forest executing his austerities, his father, Uttānapāda, heard everything about his very wonderful activities. Although Dhruva Mahārāja was the son of a king and was only five years old, he went to the forest and executed devotional service under strict austerity. Therefore his acts were all wonderful, and when he came back home, naturally, because of his spiritual qualifications, he became very popular amongst the citizens. He must have performed many wonderful activities by the grace of the Lord. No one is more satisfied than the father of a person who is credited with glorious activities. Mahārāja Uttānapāda was not an ordinary king; he was a rājarṣi, a saintly king. Formerly this earth was ruled by one saintly king only. Kings were trained to become saintly; therefore they had no other concern than the welfare of the citizens. These saintly kings were properly trained, and as mentioned in Bhagavad-gītā also, the science of God, or the yoga system of devotional service known as Bhagavad-gītā, was spoken to the saintly king of the sun planet, and gradually it descended through the kṣatriya kings who were generated from the sun and the moon. If the head of the government is saintly, certainly the citizens become saintly, and they are very happy because both their spiritual and physical needs and hankerings are satisfied.
Cuando Dhruva Mahārāja estaba ejecutando austeridades en el bosque, su padre, Uttānapāda, escuchó todo lo relativo a sus maravillosas actividades. Aunque era hijo del rey y solo tenía cinco años, Dhruva Mahārāja fue al bosque y practicó servicio devocional bajo estrictas austeridades. De modo que sus actos fueron muy maravillosos, y cuando regresó a casa, de un modo natural adquirió popularidad entre los ciudadanos, debido a sus cualidades espirituales. Por la gracia del Señor, debió de realizar muchas actividades maravillosas; nadie se siente más satisfecho que el padre de una persona reconocida por sus actividades gloriosas. Mahārāja Uttānapāda no era un rey ordinario; era un rājarṣi, un rey santo. Antiguamente la Tierra era gobernada por un solo rey, un rey santo. A los reyes se les educaba para la santidad; por ello, su única preocupación era el bienestar de los ciudadanos. Esos reyes santos recibían la debida educación, y, como se menciona también en el Bhagavad-gītā, la ciencia de Dios, es decir, el sistema de yoga del servicio devocional que se conoce con el nombre de Bhagavad-gītā, le fue hablado al rey santo del planeta Sol, y descendió gradualmente a través de los reyes kṣatriyas que nacieron del Sol y de la Luna. Si el jefe del gobierno es santo, sin duda los ciudadanos se vuelven santos y se sienten muy felices debido a que sus necesidades, tanto físicas como espirituales, están satisfechas.
