प्रकृत्या शून्यचित्तस्य कुर्वतोऽस्य यदृच्छया, प्राकृतस्येव धीरस्य न मानो नावमानता। ॥22॥

prakṛtyā śūnya-cittasya kurvato'sya yadṛcchayā, prākṛtasyeva dhīrasya na māno nāvamānatā. (22)

The wise person remains calm and unaffected by praise or criticism because they understand their true nature and act naturally without seeking recognition. They are free from the distractions of honor and dishonor that often trouble ordinary people.
