Ramanuja’s Commentary ..The word anapeksah or indifference means aloof to external objects being solely attracted to the atma or eternal soul within. Sucih or purity means sustaining the body by nourishing oneself by sanctified foods as ordained in the Vedic scriptures. Daksah or expert means proficiency in performing the Vedic injunctions and ordinances. Udasinah or unconcerned means uninterested in matters that are not eternal. Gata-vyathah or free from agitation means unaffected by experiencing the dualities of pleasure and pain, joy and grief , etc. while performing one’s Vedic enjoined duties. Parityagi or fully renounced means one who has given up all endeavours unconnected to the Supreme Lord Krishna is very dear to Him

sitosna-sukha-duhkhesu
samah sanga-vivarjitah
“One who is equal to friends and enemies, who is equipoised in honor and dishonor, heat and cold, happiness and distress, fame and infamy”
Sangha = attachment-pattrai aruthu vittavan..veru ethilum .., vivarjita = cut-off, that is without any attachment or totally detached from [பற்று]. Sri Krishna tells Arjuna that His devotee is detached from all, excepting in Him. How is he? Sama = [he regards as] equal,..satrau = enemies, ca mitre = and friends. He is not showing too much affection to a friend nor shows hatered for enemies. He treats both equal…mana = honour, apamana = dishonour. He behaves in the same way whether he is honoured or chided…sita = cold, usna = heat. He regards both heat and cold with the same feeling…sukha = comforts and happiness, dukhe = discomforts and distress. Both are inevitable in everyones life, but to be regarded in stride. pattru attra thanmai vennum..kuzlanthaikall pola..
Ramanuja’s Commentary ..The absence of hate towards any being in general has already iterated by Lord Krishna in verse 13 of this chapter with the word advesta meaning free of hatred but that is in a general sense towards every being. The equanimity mentioned here is of a more profound nature that of keeping one’s equanimity when seeing one in front of them face to face. The word aniketah means unattached to home or fixed residence due to being firmly attached to bhakti or exclusive loving devotion to the Supreme Lord. Equally balanced in praise and censure, happiness and misery, pleasure and pain etc. Such a devotee of the Supreme Lord Krishna is very dear to Him.

“always silent and satisfied with anything, who doesn’t care for any residence, who is fixed in knowledge and who is engaged in devotional service—such a person is very dear to Me.”
Narah = [such a] human, me = to Me [Sri Krishna], priya = is very dear. Bhaktiman = [he is] a devotee. This is the last of the seven slokas in which the Lord listed various desirable good qualities, a devotee should possess. Tulya = [considers] equally,-samamaaha.. ninda = abuses, stuti = [and] praises. puhazlchiyum ehazlchiyum .-ellathathai erupathahasolvathey puhazlvu..pollaathaoruvanai nallaan yentreyn kaadu aazlvaanainaadu aazlvaan yentreyn..ellaathu sonnenukku eleyn yentraan..porull kaiyil vunndaalvaruvar..kaiyilkaasu ellai yentraal kooda piranthavarumviduvaar..puhazlchiyumehazlchiyum vualukku thaan…Insults and acclamations are same to the Karma yogi.

Aniketa = not [interested in] house. –eruppatherkku nizlal kidaithaal pothum- pattru attravanaay erukkanum….Sthira-mati = stable mind or unwavering buddhi. He is rock-like steady on atman.
