Educational Q&A
Steadfast resolve (dhṛti)—patient endurance and disciplined determination—draws divine approval; spiritual success is linked to inner firmness rather than outward force.
Sañjaya reports that the Lord, appearing in the guise of a Kirāta (hunter), became pleased with the addressed hero because of that person’s unwavering fortitude.
