And finally, Dhruva’s  story is a wake-up call to all mothers. Whatever be your life situation, however tortured you are, however miserable you are, remember, as a mother, you are entrusted with the greatest responsibility. When you bring up a child, you are truly building up the future of mankind. Only with the mother’s true love and attentive care, a child can grow up as a noble person. That child will definitely protect such a mother, as Dhruva did.

Mother Suruchi’s emotional love could not help Uttama or herself, but Mother Suneethi’s devotional love glorified Dhruva and herself.

Each child comes to this world as a promise for humanity. Here, Bhagavatham calls, “Oh noble Mother, you are the caretaker of this world. So, please help your (human) child transform into a divine being”.

(Bhagavatham 4.10.5 – 4.12.52)
