=== Translation (अनुवाद) ===
A Yogi who is fulfilled by both theoretical knowledge (jñāna) and wisdom (vijñāna), remains steady amidst the diverse experiences like a fixed anvil (kūṭastha), and has conquered (vijita) the senses (indriya), is said to be harmonized (yukta). For such a Yogi, a clod of earth (loṣṭa), stone (aśma), and gold (kāñcana) are the same.

ज्ञान और विज्ञान से तृप्त आत्मा, कूटस्थ भाव में स्थित, इन्द्रियों को वश में करने वाला, जो धरती के ढेले, पत्थर और सोने में समान दृष्टि रखता है, ऐसा योगी 'युक्त' कहा जाता है।

=== Commentary (टीका) ===
In this shloka, Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 6, Verse 8) provides insight into the qualities of an ideal Yogi. A Yogi attains satisfaction through ''jñāna'' (theoretical knowledge) and ''vijñāna'' (wisdom or realized knowledge). Such a Yogi is ''kūṭastha'', meaning steady and unaltered by worldly experiences, similar to an anvil. The anvil metaphor highlights the Yogi's immovability amidst life's diverse experiences.

Furthermore, the Yogi has ''vijitendriya'', meaning they have achieved control over their senses, preventing external influences from disturbing their inner peace. The commentary emphasizes that the true practitioner of karma-yoga remains unaffected by success or failure in their actions.

The concept of ''sama-loṣṭāśma-kāñcana'' illustrates equal-mindedness toward various objects, be it clod of earth, stone, or gold. This means a Yogi regards material wealth with an unbiased perspective, not becoming attached or affected by loss or gain.

In essence, this shloka describes the qualities of an accomplished Yogi, highlighting the necessity for steadiness, wisdom, and detachment from material objects to achieve a state of ''yukta'', or complete harmony in yoga.
