"OM NAMO BHAGAVATHE VASUDEVAYA"..
Dhruva walks barefoot towards the forest. He crosses the city limits, enters the forest. He does not see any people around, humming of a bird and bees is all that he can hear.. occasionally, hears roar of a lion prowling nearby... Narada has been watching all these incidents with his usual sense of curiosity. He decends to earth, stands before Dhruva and chants " Narayana, Narayana! "..
Dhruva looks up and sees Narada standing in front of him.
He bows to Narada and says, "Oh holy one! Please tell me who you are and why you have come here? "

Dhruva looks up and sees Narada standing in front of him.
He bows to Narada and says, "Oh holy one! Please tell me who you are and why you have come here? "
Narada says, "I am Narada, a devotee of Lord Narayana.. I came to see what a small boy like you is doing in a big forest. "
Dhruva exclaims, "A devotee of Lord Narayana! Then you can help me to achieve my goal. "
Narada asks Dhruva, " Please tell me what help you need from me? "
Dhruva narrates the incident that drove him to the forest.
He concludes by saying, " I 've come here to perform austerities. I want to meet Lord Narayana and ask Him for justice. I want Him to make me the future king of the kingdom. "
Narada smiles when he hears such words from the mouth of a five-year old... and says, "Oh Prince! Please return to your palace. Many great sages who have been performing penances for hundreds of years have not been able to get a glimpse of the Supreme Lord. What is the guarantee that you will get to see Him? This forest is full of wild beasts. They may attack you. It is not a safe place to be in, unarmed. "
Dhruva replies. " Oh sage! I have full faith in my Lord Narayana. He will protect me. "
Narada realises that this five year old boy is no ordinary boy. He will not leave the forest till he meets Lord Narayana. He advices Dhruva, " Please, continuously chant ' Om Namo Bhagavathe Vasudevaya. ' Lord Narayana will be pleased. He will come and bless you. " Narada blesses him and departs.
