"Dhrti" also means patience, remaining true to duty (dharmas - religious duties, moral rights and duties) even in calamities, and perfection in maintaining wisdom.Verse II.vi.145 of "Sri Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu" states – the steadiness of heart arising from attaining realization of the Lord, from absence of suffering in attaining the realization of the Lord, and from realizing "prema" with the Lord is called "dhrti"; in this state there is no lamentation for things not attained or for things that have disappeared.
