Equal in pain and pleasure, self-abiding, equal to a lump of earth, a stone and gold; steady-minded, the same toward dear and not dear, equal in blame and self-praise.

Multiple dimensions of equanimity: pleasure/pain, honor/dishonor, dear/undear, criticism/praise. The guṇātīta is sama — equal — toward all pairs of opposites.

Sama-loṣṭa-aśma-kāñcanaḥ — equal to earth, stone, and gold — this indicates complete non-attachment to material value. The guṇātīta sees the same substratum (sat) in all forms.

Sva-sthaḥ — self-abiding — resting in one’s true nature, not dependent on external circumstances for peace or identity.
