Dhruva (Sanskrit: ध्रुव, IAST: Dhruva, lit. "unshakeable, immovable, or fixed") was an ascetic devotee of Vishnu mentioned in the Vishnu Purana and the Bhagavata Purana.[3]
The Sanskrit term dhruva nakshatra (ध्रुव नक्षत्र, "polar star") has been used for Pole Star in the Mahabharata, personified as son of Uttānapāda and grandson of Manu, even though Polaris
at the likely period of the recension of the text of the Mahabharata was still several degrees away from the celestial pole.[4][5]
