यं हि न व्यथयन्त्येते पुरुष पुरुषर्षभ । समदुःखसुखं धीरं सो$मृतत्वाय कल्पते
yaṁ hi na vyathayanty ete puruṣa puruṣarṣabha | samaduḥkhasukhaṁ dhīraṁ so ’mṛtatvāya kalpate ||
قال سَنجايا: «يا خيرَ الرجال، إنَّ ذلك الثابتَ الذي لا تُقلِقُه هذه الملامسات—ملامساتُ الحواسِّ لموضوعاتها—والذي يبقى متساويَ النفس في الحزن والفرح، يصير أهلاً للخلود، أي للتحرّر.»

Educational Q&A
A person who is not shaken by sense-experiences and who maintains equanimity in pleasure and pain is spiritually mature and becomes qualified for liberation (amṛtatva/mokṣa).
In the discourse narrated by Sanjaya, a teaching is being stated about inner steadiness: amid the pressures of experience (especially relevant in the war setting), the ideal person remains undisturbed and thus becomes fit for the highest goal.
