ध्रुवदास उवाच
का त्वं जननि वात्सल्यात् करोषि प्रेमलालनम् |
सुखञ्च वर्धयस्येवं पितृभ्यां रहितस्य मे ||
ध्रुवस्य चरितं श्रुत्वा कृष्णदर्शनकाङ्क्षया |
अहमागतवानत्र तपःकर्तुं दृढव्रतः ||
Dhruvadasa said
Oh! Mother! Who are you? You are showering affection on me, an orphan, and giving me such a great pleasure. Inspired by the story of young Dhruva, I developed a great desire to have Krishna darshan. With unaltered faith I have come here to do penance.
