Explanation

Dhruva was the son of King Uttanapada and his wife Suneeti. After being insulted by his stepmother Suruchi and denied his father's lap, young Dhruva performed severe penance and pleased Lord Vishnu, who granted him the boon of becoming the Dhruva (Pole) star - eternal and unmovable in the sky. Samba was Krishna's son, Kaliya was a serpent defeated by Krishna, and Aja was Dasharatha's father and Rama's grandfather.
