Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that the actions of Queen Suruci, the favorite wife of King Uttānapāda, are a classic example of how material pride can lead to an offense against a devotee. However, in the grand design of the Lord, even the "piercing arrows" of a stepmother can become the very tool that drives a soul back ho..."

Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the mother of Dhruva, Queen Suniti, is the perfect example of a ''vīra-sū''—a mother who gives birth to a great hero. While the young prince displayed incredible determination, it was his mother’s initial instruction that channeled his anger into a search for the Absolute Truth.
