This passage beautifully illustrates the wisdom and virtue of youth through the stories of Dhruva and Ashtavakra, two remarkable figures from Indian mythology. Despite their young age, they demonstrated profound knowledge and dedication, proving that true wisdom transcends age.
Dhruva's unwavering devotion to Lord Vishnu, despite the trials posed by his stepmother, earned him a place among the stars. His story emphasizes the power of persistence and devotion. Ashtavakra, on the other hand, was a child prodigy whose brilliance not only illuminated the world but also revived his father, showcasing the triumph of intellect and determination over adversity.
Both stories convey the timeless message that wisdom and capability are not bound by age, and greatness can be achieved through perseverance and dedication.
