उदासीनवदासीनो गुणैर्यो न विचाल्यते | गुणा वर्तन्त इत्येवं योऽवतिष्ठति नेङ्गते
udāsīnavadāsīno guṇairyo na vicālyate . guṇā vartanta ityevaṃ yo.avatiṣṭhati neṅgate
他如旁观者（udāsīnavat）般安坐，不被古纳（Guna）所动摇（vicālyate）；他认为唯有古纳（Guna）在作用（vartante），因此坚定不移（avatiṣṭhati），绝不动摇（neṅgate）。
He who, sitting like one indifferent, is not distracted by the three alities; he who, thinking that the alities alone act, remains firm and surely does not move;
他如中立者般安坐（不偏向任何一方），没有好恶之分。他完全不关心古纳（Gunas）及其作用和身体的来去。他就像足球赛、板球赛或戏剧的观众。正如天空在风吹时保持平静，他也在古纳（Gunas）作用时保持完全平静。他从不偏离自我（Self）实现的道路，坚定地走在这条路上。他思考并感受：“古纳（Gunas）被转化为身体、感官和感官对象。它们相互作用和反作用。”他不受它们的影响，安住于自己的自我（Self），像须弥山（Meru）一样坚定不移。（参见第三章第28节，第五章第8至11节）
He is seated as a neutral (one who inclines to neither party). He is free from likes and dislikes. He is entirely unconcerned whether the alities with their effects and the body come or go. He is like the spectator at a football or a cricket match or a drama. Just as the sky remains unconcerned when the wind blows? so also he remains ite unconcerned when the alities operate.He does not swerve from the path of Selfrealisation. He treads the path firmly. He thinks and feels The alities are modified into the body? senses and senseobjects. They act and react upon one another? remains unshaken by them. He abides in his own Self and stands firm like the mountain Meru. (Cf.III.28V.8to11)
