Swami Swarupananda, Srimad Bhagavad Gita (1909)
[4]He who neither rejoices, nor hates, nor grieves, nor desires, renouncing good and evil, full of devotion, he is dear to Me.
Sir Edwin Arnold, The Song Celestial (1885)
[7]Who, counting praise and blame as one, / Hath passed beyond all heat and cold / Of this world's breath, and makes no case / Of gain or loss, of love or hate, / Untouched, untroubled — that man I love!
K.T. Telang, Sacred Books of the East Vol. 8 (1882)
[9]He who is full of devotion to me, who feels no joy and no aversion, who does not grieve and does not desire, who abandons (both what is) agreeable and (what is) disagreeable, he is dear to me.
K.M. Ganguli, The Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva (1883–96)
[13]He who has no joy, no aversion, who neither grieves nor desires, who renounces both good and evil, (and) who is full of faith in me, even he is dear to me.
