49Suniti, his mother, took in her arms the son who was dearer to her than her own breath, and her sorrow left her, made easy by the touch of him. 50Hero, milk ran again and again from the breasts of that mother of a hero as they were bathed in the kindly water of her eyes. 51The people spoke well of the queen: By good fortune your son, who takes away pain, is back after being long lost, and he will guard the circle of the earth. 52Surely you worshipped the Bhagavan, who takes away the pain of those who bow to him; for by holding him in mind the steady have beaten death, hard as death is to beat. 53With Dhruva petted like this by the people, the king set him and his brother on a cow elephant and, glad, entered the city while his praises were sung.
