She consoled her son, “my dear, do not worry. There is some truth in what mother Suruchi said. I may be unfortunate to win the king’s love and you may be unlucky to get his care too”.

She continues, “However, do not blame others for our destiny. Because, we are all reaping the fruits of our own Karmam. Realize, she advised you to pray to the Lord for all fortunes. That is the wisest advice you can ever get to save yourself, so go and seek Him”.

Dhruva paused for some time, then determinedly started his journey in search of the Lord.

Note – we can see the vivid characters of King Uttanapada, Suruchi and Suneethi here. Our mind has a positive part called intellect or “Vivekam” and a negative part called unhealthy emotions or “Vikaram”.

Uttanapada is displaying a cowardly character with insensitive attitude towards his own son disregarding the fact that a child’s mind is very fragile. His attraction (Akarshanam) to his wife pushed him into injustice or “Vikaram”.

Suruchi stands for the immaturity and selfishness found very common among today’s women who are so paranoid about the well-being and progress of their own children only.
