Commentary

Dhṛti (steadiness) means control of the mind. One who is satisfied (spṛha) because of attaining all desirable objects (pūrṇa) is called pūrna-spṛha. A person who is endowed with steadiness of mind caused by being fully satisfied in his desires is thus called dhṛtimān. A person is also called dhṛtimān who is peaceful (śānta), without agitation, by achieving control of the mind, even in the absence of achieving all desires.
