Lord Viṣṇu, whose flag bears the emblem of Garuḍa.
The great sage Maitreya said: After being worshiped and honored by the boy [Dhruva Mahārāja], and after offering him His abode, Lord Viṣṇu, on the back of Garuḍa, returned to His abode as Dhruva Mahārāja looked on.

From this verse it appears that Lord Viṣṇu awarded Dhruva Mahārāja the same abode in which He resides. His abode is described in the Bhagavad-gītā (15.6) : yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma paramaṁ mama.

Translation
Maitreya said: The Lord, after being worshipped and after offering his abode, then departed for his abode on Garuḍa, while the boy watched. Atidśya means “having given.”
