=== Commentary (टीका) ===
This verse addresses characteristics of a person of steady wisdom, *sthitaprajña*. The term "anabhisneha" (अनभिस्नेहः) refers to the state of being devoid of special attachment. This is an important quality in achieving spiritual wisdom where one remains unaffected by external circumstances of good or bad outcomes, described as "śubhāśubhaṁ" (शुभाशुभम्). The detachment stems from the realization of one's identity with the Self or Brahman, where dualities lose their impact.

In the English commentary by Swami Sivananda, it is highlighted that a sage of composed understanding rises above pleasure and pain, attachment and aversion. Swami Ramsukhdas in the Hindi commentary further elaborates on this by explaining that in performing obligatory actions (duties), one should maintain an equilibrium regardless of favorable or unfavorable outcomes. This impartial state of mind allows a practitioner to remain focused on their realization without being swayed by external conditions, achieving a state where the intellect (*prajñā*) is firmly established (*pratiṣṭhitā*).

The purpose of the sloka is to guide the aspirant towards transcending attachments and aversions, enabling a deeper union with the ultimate reality, and setting the wisdom in an unchanging state. In conclusion, the sloka teaches detachment from the fruits of actions and emphasizes the importance of equanimity for spiritual progress.
