The word is Dhrta-vrata. Dhrta-vrata means definite. To get up at four in the morning is definite, there is no compromise on that. Someone gets up and someone doesn’t, No! You have to get up at four in the morning every day that is called dhrta-vrata and dhirah-vrata. Not that you occasionally get up at four in the morning, No! every day one must get up. That is the duty of a Brahman. dhrta-vrato mrdur, he had a very mild nature. Dantah, to keep the senses under one's control, this is the duty of a Brahman. Sama, dama, to keep the mind steady, to keep the senses steady. Sama, dama, titiksha, we must learn all this. So it is said, mrdur dantah satya-van. Satya-van means one who is always truthful. mantra-vit, he knew how to chant all the vedic hymns. Sucih- very neat and clean, taking bath thrice, keep clothes and body very clean. And guru-agni-atithi-vrddhanam, To respect these three things. We must offer our prostrated obeisances on seeing the spiritual master. Dandavat. And fire, we must do fire sacrifices every day. And guests, we must serve the unexpected guests when they visit our home. And vrddhanam, And specially old man we must satisfy and honor the old persons very nicely. These are all the qualities. And then susrusur anahankrtah, this Brahmin boy was doing all this but had no false prestige about doing it that I am doing so much, anahankrtah. sarva-bhuta-suhrt, and he was friendly to all living entities and was the well-wisher of all living entities, sarve sukhino bhavantu. These are the good qualities of a human being. And saduh, each word here can be given a detailed meaning but I am explaining in short. So saduh, means devotee of the Lord. Just like the Lord has said in the Bhagavad gita, sadhur eva sa mantavyah.
