  1. 2.11

    अशोच्यानन्वशोचस्त्वं प्रज्ञावादांश्च भाषसे

    prajñā-vādān — words of wisdom

    You grieve for those who should not be grieved for — and you speak, meanwhile, like a wise man. The wise mourn neither the living nor the dead.

  2. 2.57

    यः सर्वत्रानभिस्नेहस्तत्तत्प्राप्य शुभाशुभम्

    prajñā — knowledge

    Unattached everywhere, meeting good and bad alike, neither delighting nor recoiling — in such a person wisdom is firmly established.

  3. 2.58

    यदा संहरते चायं कूर्मोऽङ्गानीव सर्वशः

    prajñā — divine wisdom

    And when, like a tortoise drawing in its limbs, one withdraws the senses entirely from their objects — in that person wisdom is firmly established.

  4. 2.61

    तानि सर्वाणि संयम्य युक्त आसीत मत्परः

    prajñā — perfect knowledge pratiṣhṭhitā

    Having brought them all under control, one should sit joined, intent on me. For the one whose senses are mastered, wisdom is firmly established.

  5. 2.67

    इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनुविधीयते

    prajñām — intellect

    As a boat on water is carried off by the wind, so a mind that follows the wandering senses carries off the understanding.

  6. 2.68

    तस्माद्यस्य महाबाहो निगृहीतानि सर्वशः

    prajñā — transcendental knowledge

    Therefore, mighty-armed one, in whom the senses are wholly restrained from their objects, in that person wisdom is firmly established.
