If you at all desire to rise to the throne of the King, then you have to undergo severe austerities. First of all you must satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead, NÄrÄyaṇa, and then, when you are favored by Him because of such worship, you shall have to take your next birth from my womb.
Suruci was so envious of Dhruva MahÄrÄja that she indirectly asked him to change his body. According to her, first of all he had to die, then take his next body in her womb, and only then would it be possible for Dhruva MahÄrÄja to ascend the throne of his father.
