Svayambhuvamanu was born out of Brahma's body; he married Satharupai
and had two sons called Priyamaratha and Uththanapadha. Uththanapadha
became king and married two women called Suneethi and Suruchi. Through
them both, he had two sons - Suneethi's son was called Dhruva and
Suruchi's son was called Uththama.
 
Uththanapadha was very fond of Suruchi and ignored Suneethi altogether.
When Dhruva was five years old, he asked his mother to see his father.
Suneethi told him about the king's palace and Dhruva went there to see
him. Uththanapadha ignored Dhruva and in his presence took Uththama in
his lap and was affectionate to him. When Dhruva tried to approach his
father, Suruchi prevented him from doing so and using harsh words
chased him away.
 
Feeling both sad and angry, Dhruva went back to his mother and told her
what happened. Suneethi then consolde him and told him "Pray to the
father of everyone Vasudeva. If you do that and follow the path of
Dharma, you will live a great life".
 
Dhruva left for the forest to pray to Vasudeva. In the forest, he
obtained the VAsudeva mantra (Dvadasakshari) from the Saptharishis (or
from Narada) and started meditating on Vasudeva. He kept the mantra in
his mind and performed deep penance for a long time.
 
Pleased with him, Sriman Narayana (Vasudeva) appeared before him. He
gave Dhruva the divine knowledge and also a place amongst the stars.
 
Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Do I have the deep faith that Dhruva had
and the great devotion he showed to the father of the Universe?"
