Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
“One, who is in no way perturbed or moved at the happening either of a good or a bad event, just as a mountain cannot be swept out by flood of mirage, should be known as really one, who is even-tempered and he is the very Supreme Brahman incarnate” said Lord Krishna to the Son of Pandu.
