對於恩人、朋友、敵人（Ari，指背後加害之人）、中立者、仲裁者、憎恨者（Dvesyah，指公開表現憎恨之人）、親屬、善人乃至罪人，皆能保持平等心者，方為卓越。
He excels who has sameness of view with regard to a benefactor, a friend, a foe [Ari (foe) is one who does harm behind one's back.], a neutral, an arbiter, the hateful, [Dvesyah is one who openly hateful.] a relative, good people and even sinners.
「卓越」指在已達「瑜伽」（Yoga）境界者中，他是最優秀的。「平等心」（Samabuddhi）是指心靈的平靜或平等。擁有平等心的瑜伽士具有平等的洞察力，他完全公正，對待所有人一視同仁，不因種姓、信仰或膚色而有所區別。他愛所有人如同愛自己，因為萬物皆根植於「真我」（Atman）。善心之人施恩於他人，不求回報。「中立者」（Udasina）是指完全不關心的人。仲裁者是不加入任何一方爭執的人，他作為一個沉默的觀察者或見證者。義人是那些行義舉並遵循經典教誨的人。不義之人是那些做錯事、做被禁止之事、傷害他人且不遵循經典的人。

He stands as a silent spectator or witness.The righteous are those who do righteous actions and follow the injunctions of the scriptures.The unrighteous are those who do wrong and forbidden actions? who inure others and who do not follow the scriptures.
