Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 18 भगवद् गीता अध्याय 12 श्लोक 18 समः शत्रौ च मित्रे च तथा मानापमानयोः। शीतोष्णसुखदुःखेषु समः सङ्गविवर्जितः।।12.18।। हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी तेजोमयानंद ।।12.18।। जो पुरुष शत्रु और मित्र में तथा मान और अपमान में सम है जो शीतउष्ण व सुखदुखादिक द्वन्द्वों में सम है और आसक्ति रहित है।। Kumara Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary 16 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 ones 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.
