Dhruva Mahārāja attained an exalted position at the age of only five or six years, after undergoing austerity for six months. Alas, a great kṣatriya cannot achieve such a position even after undergoing austerities for many, many years.

ŚB 4.12.43 · गीता प्रेस पाठ

य: क्षत्रबन्धुर्भुवि तस्याधिरूढ- मन्वारुरुक्षेदपि वर्षपूगै:। षट्पंचवर्षो यदहोभिरल्पै: प्रसाद्य वैकुण्ठमवाप तत्पदम्॥ ४३

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

ध्रुवजीने तो पाँच-छ: वर्षकी अवस्थामें कुछ दिनोंकी तपस्यासे ही भगवान् को प्रसन्‍न करके उनका परमपद प्राप्त कर लिया; किन्तु उनके अधिकृत किये हुए इस पदको भूमण्डलमें कोई दूसरा क्षत्रिय क्या वर्षोंतक तपस्या करके भी पा सकता है?॥ ४३॥

स्रोत-खंड सीमा · यह हिन्दी अंश गीता प्रेस डिजिटल पाठ में इस दृश्य श्लोक-इकाई के बाद आता है; इसे स्वतः एक-से-एक टीका या संस्करण-समानता नहीं माना गया है।
