dṛṣṭa-anuśravika-viṣaya-vitṛṣṇasya vaśīkāra-saṁjṇā vairāgyam ||15||

[RS] 1.15 Imperturbability results from a balance in the consciousness, and when the desire for all things that we see or have heard of is extinguished.

[JW] 1.15 Passionlessness is the consciousness of being master on the part of one who has rid himself of thirst for either seen or revealed objects.

[SS] 1.15 The consciousness of self-mastery in one who is free from craving for objects seen or heard about is non-attachment. [p23]

[TD] 1.15 At the highest level there is an absence of any cravings, either for the fulfillment of the senses or for extraordinary experiences. [p154]

[EB] 1.15 Dispassion is the controlled consciousness of one who is without craving for sense objects, whether these are actually perceived, or described [in scripture]. [p52]
