Thasmaath yasya mahaabaaho nigrheethaani sarvaSaH indhriyaaNi indhriyaarhThebhyaH thasya prajnaa prathihTithaa So the intellect of one, whose indhriyas are restrained from running in all directions after the sense objects , is established or firm. Krishna had now answered the questions of Arjuna in full an about sThithaprajna. The sloka 55 `prajahaathi yadhaa kaamaan, ` gives the definition of sThithaprajna which is the answer to the question `sThithaparjanasya kaabhaashaa,' what is the sign of one who has firm wisdom. But all the slokas from 55 to the end of the chapter serve as the answer for this question because the other three are included in the first. The second question `sthithaDheeh kim prabhaashetha,' how does a man of firm wisdom speaks, is answered by the slokas 56 and 57, duhkheshvanudhvignamanaah , and `yah sarvathra anabhisnehaah,' the man of firm wisdom does not entertain likes and dislikes and treat all in the same manner and his speech will be the reflection of his mind The third question ` kim aaseetha,' how will he sit, is answered by the 58th loka `yadhaa samhaarathe ,' that is, the man of firm wisdom will withdraw his senses from sense objects and will appear unaffected by the world around. Here `seated' means the general disposition. The fourth question `vrajetha kim 'how will he behave, is answered from sloka 64 till 70.and distinctly in sloka 71.
