Translation
দৈব ও পরিস্থিতিবশত যে যে লোকাচার ও সম্পদ তোমার কাছে আসে, তাতে সমভাব রাখো। আসক্তি বা বিদ্বেষে পড়ো না; যা আসে তা অন্তরে অস্থির না হয়ে গ্রহণ করো এবং ধর্মে স্থির থাকো।

Maintain equanimity toward whatever worldly gains or situations arise by circumstance; avoid rāga (attachment) and dveṣa (aversion), and keep the mind steady in dharma.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on righteous living after the war; here he emphasizes inner balance and non-reactivity toward the changing fortunes of worldly life.
