Dhṛti or Dhriti or Dhruti (Sanskrit: धृति), means to 'act with determination',[1] 'patience',[2] 'firmness',[3] and refers to 'perseverance',[4] 'wearing regularly'.[5]
Dhruti, meaning 'fortitude' and 'determination', is defined as the subtle faculty in a person that makes them strive continuously towards a goal. Dhruti or Dhriti is a quality of courage, patience, enthusiasm, and perseverance to face and overcome all odds and obstacles.[citation needed]
Dhrti is one of the yamas, one of the eleven Rudrāṇīs.[6] There is no correct equivalent English word for dhrti which is derived from dhr- meaning 'to bear'.[7] Dhriti was reborn as Madri in the Mahabharata.[8]
Lakshmi is referred to the epithet of Dhruti or Dhriti in the Lakshmi Sahasranama to describe her quality of courage and light.[9]
The name Dhriti also appears in the Lalita Sahasranama.[10]
