He to whom censure and praise are eal, who is silent, content with anything, homeless, of a steady mind, and full of devotion that man is dear to Me.

who holds blame and praise alike, is silent, content with whatever comes, without a fixed home, steady in mind and full of devotion: that person is dear to me.

The portrait concludes. The devotee treats blame and praise alike, is silent or restrained in speech, content with whatever comes, aniketa, without a fixed home or attachment to place, steady in mind and full of devotion. Such a person is dear to Krishna. Without a home is read by some literally, of wandering renouncers, and by others inwardly, as not being bound to any possession. The verse completes a picture in which devotion shows itself as a stable, generous and unclinging character.
