| FILE INFO | | Caption | As Dhruva Maharaja kept himself steadily standing on one leg, controlling his mind and senses, the pressure of his big toe pushed down the earth. He became practically one in heaviness with Lord Vishnu and in full concentration on the Supreme Lord, Dhruva was able to close all the holes of his body. He caused the total universal breathing to become choked up. The demigods (devas) felt as if they were suffocating and they ran to the shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and asked Him to kindly save them. The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: "My dear demigods, do not be perturbed by this. It is due to the severe austerity and full determination of the son of King Uttanapada, who is now fully absorbed in thought of Me. He has obstructed the universal breathing process. You can safely return to your respective homes. I shall stop this boy in his severe acts of austerities, and you will be saved from this situation."
