2.56 Unshaken in sorrow Krishna speaks
दुःखेष्वनुद्विग्नमनाः सुखेषु विगतस्पृहः
वीतरागभयक्रोधः स्थितधीर्मुनिरुच्यते
duḥkheṣhv-anudvigna-manāḥ sukheṣhu vigata-spṛihaḥ
vīta-rāga-bhaya-krodhaḥ sthita-dhīr munir uchyate
Unshaken in sorrow, without craving in pleasure, free of attachment, fear and anger — such a one is called a sage, steady in wisdom.
Explanation
Unshaken in sorrow, without craving in pleasure.
Free of attachment, fear and anger — such a one is called a sage.
Both halves again, as always in this book. And fear is on the list, which matters: the man being described this to is on the floor of a chariot because of it.
