Dhruva Mahārāja thereafter lived in his father’s palace, which had walls bedecked with highly valuable jewels. His affectionate father took particular care of him, and he dwelled in that house just as the demigods live in their palaces in the higher planetary systems.

Dhruva lived like a devatā in the heavens, pampered constantly by his father in the best of house, covered with valuable jewels.
