“ We need a mortal to whom to teach our lore." King Dhruv bowed to the seven rishis. "Incomparable sages," he replied, "if I could stay with you I gladly would, so that I could learn your priceless wisdom. But I desire to worship the god Krishna and until I find the place to which he directs me I must follow this path." So the king went on towards the North along the path which never seemed to end. ”

“ Prince Dhruv pleaded that he was King Uttanpad's son just as much as Uttam was. But Queen Suruchi grew very angry and bade him go and pray to the gods. For until they pitied him and let him be born again as her son, King Uttanpad would never take him on his knee again. Little Dhruv went to his mother Suniti and told her what had happened. Suniti told him to pray to the god Krishna. So little Dhruv said that he would go into the forest and pray to Krishna and when he had done so he would return and tell her. ”
