Śaṅkarācārya's commentary

He whose mind is not afflicted (anudvigna-manas) when calamities — physical, mental, or external — fall upon him; from whom all longing for pleasures has departed; who is free from attachment (rāga), fear (bhaya), and wrath (krodha) — such a one, abiding in his own steady knowledge, is called a sage (muni), a sthita-dhī.
