The contact of the senses with the objects, O son of Kunti, which causes heat and cold, pleasure and pain, has a beginning and an end; they are impermanent; endure them bravely, O Arjuna.

Swami Sivananda

But the contacts of the organs with the objects are the producers of cold and heat, happiness, and sorrow. They have a beginning and an end and are transient. Bear them, O descendant of Bharata.

The contact of the senses with their objects, O Arjuna, gives rise to feelings of cold and heat, pleasure and pain. They come and go, never lasting long. Endure them, O Arjuna.

Swami Adidevananda

O son of Kunti! The touches with the matras cause feelings of cold and heat, pleasure and pain; they are of the nature of coming and going and are transient. Bear them, O Descendant of Bharata!

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

Those external relations that bring cold and heat, pain and happiness come and go; they are not permanent. Endure them bravely, O Prince!

Shri Purohit Swami

हे कुन्तीनन्दन! इन्द्रियोंके जो विषय (जड पदार्थ) हैं, वो तो शीत (अनुकूलता) और उष्ण (प्रतिकूलता) - के द्वारा सुख और दुःख देनेवाले हैं तथा आने-जानेवाले और अनित्य हैं। हे भरतवंशोद्भव अर्जुन! उनको तुम सहन करो।

Swami Ramsukhdas

हे कुन्तीपुत्र ! शीत और उष्ण और सुख दुख को देने वाले इन्द्रिय और विषयों के संयोग का प्रारम्भ और अन्त होता है;  वे अनित्य हैं,  इसलिए,  हे भारत ! उनको तुम सहन करो।
