Bhakta
One day, Dhruva the son of Suniti found that Uttama was sitting on his father’s lap on the throne. Naturally, Dhruva also wanted to climb onto his father’s lap. Nevertheless, Suruchi scolded him saying that he should not aspire as Uttama’. He should always remember that the throne meant for Uttama and not for Dhruva.

Dhruva cried and was angry. He went running to his mother. In addition, he told his mother what had happened. Suniti consoled him and told him that men suffer or prosper depending on what they had done in their past lives. If one has done good deeds in an earlier life, one becomes a king, has an umbrella held over one’s head, and rides excellent horses and elephants in this life. Suruchi and Uttama must have performed many good deeds in their earlier lives.
