Translation

The great sage Maitreya said: My dear Vidura, Dhruva Mahārāja’s anger subsided, and he completely ceased killing Yakṣas. When Kuvera, the most blessed master of the treasury, learned this news, he appeared before Dhruva. While being worshiped by Yakṣas, Kinnaras and Cāraṇas, he spoke to Dhruva Mahārāja, who stood before him with folded hands.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Maitreya said: Learning that Dhruva’s anger had subsided and he had ceased killing, Kuvera appeared. Praised by Cāraṇas, Yakṣas and Kinnaras, he spoke to Dhruva who stood with folded hands. The Twelfth Chapter describes how Dhruva received benedictions from Kuvera, returned to his own city, worshipped the Lord through sacrifices, and renouncing everything, attained the abode of the Lord in the same body. Vaiśasāt means “from killing.”
