Srimad Bhagavata Purana, Canto 4, Chapter 9, verses 6–17 (Dhruva-krita Bhagavat-stuti) · Sage Veda-Vyasa (as spoken by Dhruva Maharaja) · Classical Puranic era
Dhruva, the five-year-old son of King Uttanapada, was insulted by his stepmother and resolved to attain a position higher than anyone had ever known. Guided by the sage Narada, he performed severe austerities in the forest at Madhuvana, meditating on Lord Vishnu. Pleased by his determination, the Lord appeared before him. The boy, overwhelmed and unable to speak, was touched on the cheek by the Lord's conch, and at once these twelve verses of glorification poured from his awakened heart. Having seen God, Dhruva no longer cared for the kingdom he had sought, and was ultimately granted the eternal, never-falling abode of the pole star, Dhruva-loka.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
Tradition holds that the Lord's conch touching Dhruva's cheek instantly bestowed perfect Vedic knowledge and eloquence upon the illiterate child — the very awakening he describes in the first verse. So pleased was the Lord with this prayer that He granted Dhruva the imperishable polar abode, where he shines as the fixed pole star around which all the luminaries revolve, untouched even by the dissolution of the cosmos.

ಅರ್ಥ:My Lord, You are the all-powerful holder of every potency. Having entered within me, You have, by Your own splendour, revived my dormant power of speech, and also enlivened my other faculties — my hands, legs, ears, sense of touch and life-energy. Unto You, the Supreme Person, I offer my obeisances.

ಅರ್ಥ:You alone, O Lord, by Your own potency called Maya with its mighty modes, create this entire universe beginning with the mahat-tattva, and then enter within it as the indwelling Person, appearing as if manifold among its qualities — just as fire, though one, appears variously in pieces of wood.

ಅರ್ಥ:By the intelligence You bestow, this surrendered soul perceives the whole world, like one awakened from sleep, O Lord. How then could a wise person, O friend of the afflicted, ever forget the soles of Your feet, which alone are the shelter granting liberation?
ನೂನಂ ವಿಮುಷ್ಟಮತಯಸ್ತವ ಮಾಯಯಾ ತೇ ಯೇ ತ್ವಾಂ ಭವಾಪ್ಯಯವಿಮೋಕ್ಷಣಮನ್ಯಹೇತೋಃ । ಅರ್ಚನ್ತಿ ಕಲ್ಪಕತರುಂ ಕುಣಪೋಪಭೋಗ್ಯ- ಮಿಚ್ಛನ್ತಿ ಯತ್ಸ್ಪರ್ಶಜಂ ನಿರಯೇಽಪಿ ನೄಣಾಮ್ ॥ ೪ ॥

ಅರ್ಥ:Surely their intelligence is stolen away by Your Maya — those who worship You, the desire-fulfilling tree, for some other end such as deliverance from the cycle of birth and death; for the pleasures they crave are corpse-like enjoyments, obtainable even in hell.
ಯಾ ನಿರ್ವೃತಿಸ್ತನುಭೃತಾಂ ತವ ಪಾದಪದ್ಮ- ಧ್ಯಾನಾದ್ಭವಜ್ಜನಕಥಾಶ್ರವಣೇನ ವಾ ಸ್ಯಾತ್ । ಸಾ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಣಿ ಸ್ವಮಹಿಮನ್ಯಪಿ ನಾಥ ಮಾ ಭೂತ್ ಕಿಂತ್ವನ್ತಕಾಸಿಲುಲಿತಾತ್ಪತತಾಂ ವಿಮಾನಾತ್ ॥ ೫ ॥

ಅರ್ಥ:My Lord, may the bliss that embodied beings derive from meditating upon Your lotus feet, or from hearing the glories of Your devotees, never be exchanged even for merging into the impersonal Brahman of Your own effulgence — let alone for the heavenly pleasures of those whose airplanes are shattered by the sword of death.
ಭಕ್ತಿಂ ಮುಹುಃ ಪ್ರವಹತಾಂ ತ್ವಯಿ ಮೇ ಪ್ರಸಙ್ಗೋ ಭೂಯಾದನನ್ತ ಮಹತಾಮಮಲಾಶಯಾನಾಮ್ । ಯೇನಾಞ್ಜಸೋಲ್ಬಣಮುರುವ್ಯಸನಂ ಭವಾಬ್ಧಿಂ ನೇಷ್ಯೇ ಭವದ್ಗುಣಕಥಾಮೃತಪಾನಮತ್ತಃ ॥ ೬ ॥
bhaktiṃ muhuḥ pravahatāṃ tvayi me prasaṅgo bhūyād ananta mahatām amalāśayānām | yenāñjasolbaṇam uru-vyasanaṃ bhavābdhiṃ neṣye bhavad-guṇa-kathāmṛta-pāna-mattaḥ || 6 ||
ಅರ್ಥ:O unlimited Lord, may I always have the association of those great, pure-hearted souls whose devotion to You flows ceaselessly; for, intoxicated by drinking the nectar of narrations of Your qualities, I shall easily cross this fearsome ocean of material existence with its terrible dangers.
ತೇ ನ ಸ್ಮರನ್ತ್ಯತಿತರಾಂ ಪ್ರಿಯಮೀಶ ಮರ್ತ್ಯಂ ಯೇ ಚಾನ್ವದಃ ಸುತಸುಹೃದ್ಗೃಹವಿತ್ತದಾರಾಃ । ಯೇ ತ್ವಬ್ಜನಾಭ ಭವದೀಯಪದಾರವಿನ್ದ- ಸೌಗನ್ಧ್ಯಲುಬ್ಧಹೃದಯೇಷು ಕೃತಪ್ರಸಙ್ಗಾಃ ॥ ೭ ॥

ಅರ್ಥ:Those, O Lord, who have developed attachment for the hearts of devotees greedy for the fragrance of Your lotus feet, O lotus-naveled one, no longer cherish even the dearest things of this mortal world — sons, friends, home, wealth and wife.

ಅರ್ಥ:O unborn one, I know this gross universal form of Yours, made of the mahat-tattva and the rest, populated by beasts, trees, birds, reptiles, gods, demons, humans and all manner of beings, both manifest and unmanifest. Beyond it I know that supreme reality of Yours about which there can be no dispute.

ಅರ್ಥ:I offer my obeisances to that Supreme Lord who, at the end of the cosmic cycle, holds this entire creation within His belly and lies down, self-luminous, beside Ananta-Sesha as His companion, while from the ocean of His navel sprouts the golden lotus on which the radiant Brahma takes birth.

ಅರ್ಥ:You are the eternally liberated, perfectly pure, fully awakened Self, the unchanging original Person, the Lord of the three (modes / worlds). By Your undivided vision You remain the witness of every state of intelligence, presiding over creation and maintenance, yet ever distinct and aloof.
ಯಸ್ಮಿನ್ ವಿರುದ್ಧಗತಯೋ ಹ್ಯನಿಶಂ ಪತನ್ತಿ ವಿದ್ಯಾದಯೋ ವಿವಿಧಶಕ್ತಯ ಆನುಪೂರ್ವ್ಯಾತ್ । ತದ್ಬ್ರಹ್ಮ ವಿಶ್ವಭವಮೇಕಮನನ್ತಮಾದ್ಯ- ಮಾನನ್ದಮಾತ್ರಮವಿಕಾರಮಹಂ ಪ್ರಪದ್ಯೇ ॥ ೧೧ ॥

ಅರ್ಥ:I take shelter of that Brahman — the source of the universe, one, unlimited, primeval, pure bliss alone and free of all change — in whom contradictory powers such as knowledge and ignorance and various other potencies eternally arise in succession.
ಸತ್ಯಾಶಿಷೋ ಹಿ ಭಗವಂಸ್ತವ ಪಾದಪದ್ಮ- ಮಾಶೀಸ್ತಥಾನುಭಜತಃ ಪುರುಷಾರ್ಥಮೂರ್ತೇಃ । ಅಪ್ಯೇವಮಾರ್ಯ ಭಗವಾನ್ ಪರಿಪಾತಿ ದೀನಾನ್ ವಾಶ್ರೇವ ವತ್ಸಕಮನುಗ್ರಹಕಾತರೋಽಸ್ಮಾನ್ ॥ ೧೨ ॥

ಅರ್ಥ:O Lord, true indeed are the blessings won by serving Your lotus feet, for You are the very embodiment of life's supreme goal. And yet, O noble one, the Lord protects His poor devotees even beyond their prayers — as a mother cow, anxious with affection, tends her helpless calf.

Dhruva Stuti ಪಾರಾಯಣದ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಗಳು
Embodies pure, motiveless devotion (ahaituki bhakti) and the rejection of all material and even liberation-seeking motives.
The famous prayer for the 'association of great pure-hearted devotees' (verse 6) inspires the seeker to value satsanga above all rewards.
Teaches that the bliss of meditating on the Lord's feet surpasses even impersonal liberation, deepening loving attachment to God.
Recited from the Bhagavata, it is held to purify the heart, steady the mind, and awaken dormant spiritual faculties as it did for Dhruva.
A powerful prayer for one facing hardship, modelled by a child who turned worldly ambition into divine realization.
Cultivates surrender, humility and the assurance of the Lord's protection, likened to a mother cow tending her calf.
Dhruva Stuti ಪಾರಾಯಣ ವಿಧಿ
Sit calmly before an image of Lord Vishnu or Krishna and recite the twelve verses slowly, contemplating their meaning — that the Lord is the all-powerful indweller who awakens the soul. Reflect especially on Dhruva's prayer for the company of pure devotees and unbroken devotion. The stuti is read as part of daily Bhagavata recitation; chant it with humility and a mood of selfless surrender, seeking the Lord alone rather than any reward.
