Dear Sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,
 
In this post we will enjoy the sri vishNu sahasra naamaavali with naamaas
having the common thread of the root verb "Dhru" meaning "to bear", or "to
support", or "to maintain". 

Since the other root verb "Bhru" also means "to bear" or "to support"or "to
maintain" let us group these naamaas together with Dhru group.
