The man of renunciation, pervaded by purity, intelligent, and with his doubts cut asunder, does not hate an unpleasant task nor is he attached to a pleasant one.

Swami Sivananda

The man of renunciation, imbued with sattva, wise and free from doubts, does not hate unbecoming action, nor does he become attached to becoming activity.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

One who has abandoned, imbued with Sattva, wise, and whose doubts have been dispelled—such a person neither hates disagreeable acts nor clings to agreeable ones.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

The man of renunciation, who is well-possessed of Sattva, is wise and has his doubts destroyed—he does not hate unskilled action and does not cling to skilled action.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

The wise man who has attained purity, whose doubts are resolved, who is filled with the spirit of self-abnegation, does not shy away from action due to its pain, nor does he crave it due to its pleasure.

Shri Purohit Swami

जो अकुशल कर्मसे द्वेष नहीं करता और कुशल कर्ममें आसक्त नहीं होता, वह त्यागी, बुद्धिमान्, सन्देहरहित और अपने स्वरूपमें स्थित है।

Swami Ramsukhdas

जो पुरुष अकुशल (अशुभ) कर्म से द्वेष नहीं करता और कुशल (शुभ) कर्म में आसक्त नहीं होता, वह सत्त्वगुण से सम्पन्न पुरुष संशयरहित, मेधावी (ज्ञानी) और त्यागी है।
