English term or phrase: strict
I am not sure how to translate the word "strict" in the following sentence. Dictionary shows words like पक्का, सख्त, कठोर। Would दृढ़ be a good choice? Thanks for your kind advise.

"XXXXX could hardly be considered an auspicious place by any strict Vaisnava."

Agree with this explanation. Certainly the spirit will not be captured properly by the word कट्टर as Lalit ji mentioned it would give a derogatory flavour to the meaning. Thanks.

धर्मनिष्ठ


Explanation:
यहां पर मेरे विचार से strict का शाब्दिक अनुवाद करने की आवश्यकता नहीं है बल्कि उसका भाव समझना अधिक उपयुक्त होगा। यहां strict का अर्थ devout से है, जिसका अर्थ cambridge online dictionary में इस प्रकार दिया गया हैः
believing strongly in a religion and obeying all its rules or principles
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/devout?q=...

इसके अलावा, cambridge online में ही strict शब्द का एक अर्थ उदाहरण के साथ (जो मेरे विचार में वर्तमान संदर्भ में सही बैठता है) इस प्रकार दिया गया हैः
describes someone who follows the rules and principles of a belief or way of living very carefully and exactly, or a belief or principle that is followed very carefully and exactly
His parents were strict Catholics.

कुछ और शब्द भी संदर्भ के अनुसार उपयुक्त हो सकते हैं - सच्चा, गंभीर, श्रद्धापूर्ण, आदि।
