Shankaracharya's commentary, trans. Alladi Mahadeva Sastry (1897)
[1]He who is free from attachment everywhere, who, meeting with this or that, good or bad, neither welcomes it with joy nor repels it with hatred — his wisdom is firmly established.
BG 2.57
यः सर्वत्रानभिस्नेहस्तत्तत्प्राप्य शुभाशुभम् । नाभिनन्दति न द्वेष्टि तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता ॥
yaḥ sarvatrānabhisnehas tat tat prāpya śubhāśubham | nābhinandati na dveṣṭi tasya prajñā pratiṣṭhitā ||
"No sticky attachment anywhere — meeting good or bad without rejoicing or hatred. Wisdom firmly rooted."
