He asked us to maintain our physical and mental health in a proper manner.
He also tells that the Dhuruva star occupies a major role towards the functioning of the Stars, Planets, sun and the moon, and he further tells, that through the help of Lord Dhuruva only, the entire solar system is functioning properly, and he insists us to worship Lord Dhuruva in order to get all kinds of propensities in the earth, as well as to attain SALVATION after our death.
Apart from astronomy, he also wrote books on Ayurveda and siddha, and healed the diseases of the people. He also wrote books to cure the diseases of the plants, and animals, and asked us to protect the trees, and to water it properly.
