Translation
The Supreme Self of him who is self-controlled and peaceful remains balanced in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, as well as in honor and dishonor.
Swami Sivananda
The supreme Self of one who has control over the aggregate of his body and organs, and who is tranquil, becomes manifest. He should be poised in the midst of cold and heat, happiness and sorrow, as well as honor and dishonor.
Swami Gambirananda
Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).
Of him whose mind is conquered and who is serene, the great self is well-secured in heat and cold, in pleasure and pain, and in honor and dishonor.
Swami Adidevananda
Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).
The thinking of the person, with a subdued mind and thus with complete calmness, remains in equilibrium in the case of others and himself, in cold and heat, in pleasure and pain, as well as in honor and dishonor.
Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).
The Self of one who is self-controlled and has attained peace is equally unmoved by heat or cold, pleasure or pain, honor or dishonor.
Shri Purohit Swami
जिसने अपने-आपपर अपनी विजय कर ली है, उस शीत-उष्ण (अनुकूलता-प्रतिकूलता) सुख-दुःख तथा मान-अपमानमें निर्विकार मनुष्यको परमात्मा नित्यप्राप्त हैं।
Swami Ramsukhdas
शीत-उष्ण, सुख-दु:ख तथा मान-अपमान में जो प्रशान्त रहता है, ऐसे जितात्मा पुरुष के लिये परमात्मा सम्यक् प्रकार से स्थित है, अर्थात्, आत्मरूप से विद्यमान है।
