"The doer who is free from attachment, who does not speak of 'I', who is endowed with resolve and enthusiasm, and unchanged in success and failure, is called sattvic."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. anahaṃvādī na ahaṃvadanaśīlaḥ; dhṛtiḥ dhāraṇam utsāhaḥ udyamaḥ.
Acharya Ramanuja. ārabdhe karmaṇi yāvatkarmasamāptyavarjanīyaduḥkhadhāraṇaṃ dhṛtiḥ — dhriti is bearing the unavoidable hardship until the work is finished.
