Visarga· Brahmā's creationGive Spiritual Realization First Place
“The great sage Maitreya said: My dear Vidura, thereafter Dhruva Mahārāja married the daughter of Prajāpati Śiśumāra, whose name was Bhrami, and two sons named Kalpa and Vatsara were born of her.”
What the purport teaches
- Dhruva Mahārāja married Bhrami, the daughter of Prajāpati Śiśumāra. Their two sons were Kalpa and Vatsara.
- Mahārāja Uttānapāda was a rājarṣi, a saintly king. Although busy with government duties, he was very anxious for self-realization.
- Once Dhruva Mahārāja was worthy to govern, his father left home for self-realization rather than waiting to arrange his marriage. The purport places spiritual realization above all other important work.
