Dhruva was a Brahmin in his previous birth. He used to meditate on Viṣṇu with concentration of mind. In course of time he befriended a prince who was a youth, of beautiful and bright complexion, enjoying all the pleasures of the world. Attracted by the position and status of the prince, the Brahmin wanted to become a prince. Mahāviṣṇu granted his wish. Accordingly Dhruva took his next birth as the son of Uttānapāda. (Viṣṇu Purāṇa, Aṃśa 1, Chapter 12).
