Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

The dhrita or determination whereby a jiva or embodied being is attached  to
actions in a stable and steady manner only due to  desires  for  rewards  of
pleasure and hopes for recompense of wealth is designated  by  Lord  Krishna
as dhrita situated in raja guna the mode of passion.

Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

The dhrita or determination that is influenced by  raja  guna  the  mode  of
passion is  motivated  by  desire  for  rewards  and  desires  for  kama  or
enjoyment and artha or wealth and hopes for dharma  or  righteousness  keeps
the impetus activated. For these are the means by  which  one  interacts  in
life using the mind, senses and physical body;  but  the  rewards  that  are
reaped are only material and temporary. Moksa or  liberation  form  material
existence is never able to be achieved if one is motivated for  rewards  for
their actions. So Lord Krishna has confirmed that  activities  which  engage
the mind, senses and body for the  purpose  of  recompense  and  rewards  is
situated totally in raja guna and  although  may  achieve  kama,  artha  and
dharma such activities can never bestow moksa.
