He to whom censure and praise are equal, who is silent, content with anything, homeless, of a steady mind, and full of devotion; that man is dear to me.

Swami Sivananda

The person to whom denunciation and praise are the same, who is silent, content with anything, homeless, steadfast-minded, and full of devotion is dear to me.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

He who regards both blame and praise alike, who is silent and content with any lot, who has no home, who is firm of mind, and who is devoted to Me - such a man is dear to Me.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

To whom blame and praise are equal; who is silent (does not over-speak) and is content with whatever comes to him; who has no fixed thoughts in the mundane life; who is yet steady-minded in spiritual practice and is full of devotion—that man is dear to Me.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

Who is indifferent to praise and censure, enjoys silence, is content with every fate, has no fixed abode, is steadfast in mind, and filled with devotion—such a one is My beloved.

Shri Purohit Swami

जो शत्रु और मित्रमें तथा मान-अपमानमें सम है और शीतउष्ण (अनुकूलता-प्रतिकूलता) तथा सुख-दुःखमें सम है एवं आसक्तिसे रहित है, और जो निन्दा-स्तुतिको समान समझनेवाला, मननशील, जिस-किसी प्रकारसे भी (शरीरका निर्वाह होनेमें) संतुष्ट, रहनेके स्थान तथा शरीरमें ममता-आसक्तिसे रहित और स्थिर बुद्धिवाला है, वह भक्तिमान् मनुष्य मुझे प्रिय है।

Swami Ramsukhdas

जिसको निन्दा और स्तुति दोनों ही तुल्य है, जो मौनी है, जो किसी अल्प वस्तु से भी सन्तुष्ट है, जो अनिकेत है, वह स्थिर बुद्धि का भक्तिमान् पुरुष मुझे प्रिय है।
