धृति-धैर्य

[Arun]

The 2 words धृति-धैर्य are used with same meaning, but are counted
separately in Manusmriti while indicating 10 lakshanas of Dharma-
धृति क्षमा दमो अस्तेयम शौचमिन्द्रियनिग्रहः । धी धैर्यं सत्यमक्रोधो
दशकं धर्म लक्षणम् ।
What is difference between these 2 words-धृति-धैर्य, How these two and
धी (intellect) are signs of धर्म ?-Are all clever men epitoms of
धर्म ?-

न तु "धी धैर्यं सत्यम.." किन्तु  "धीर्विद्यासत्यम..." इति विद्यते मनुस्मृतौ |

Why don't you refer to the edition and page and Ch. and verse number so that others also could verify the readings?

Anyhow sheetal is right in that much about the statement that it is found in the exact sequence quoted:

धृतिः क्षमा दमो ऽस्तेयं शौचमिन्द्रियनिग्रहः। धीर्विद्या सत्यमक्रोधो दशकं धर्मलक्षणम् ।।" मनुः 6-92. 

from the webpage. The edition is not given, but it looks fine.

Best regards to Dr. Bhat for quoting the verse 6.92 of the Manusmriti. 

It can be found in page  531 ( volume 1) of the MLBD publication edited by Ganganath Jha (Manusmriti, ed. Ganganath Jha , MLBD, Delhi 1999, 2nd edition).

Medhaatithi, the celebrated commentator, says, dhrityaadayo aatmagunaah. tatra dhritir naama dhanaadisamksaye sattvaasrayah...dhiih samyag jnaanam pratipaksa-samsayaadi-niraakaranam, vidyaatmajnaanam. karmaadhyaatma-jnaanabhedena dhiividyayor bhedah... 

Steadiness - the feeling of contentment even at the loss of property and such things...Discrimination- true knowledge...Knowledge-of the Soul.

the difference between discrimination and knowledge is that the former refers to Acts and the latter to the Soul. (vol.5, p. 268).

With best regards,

Soma B
