Interpretation
Shankaracharya. na udvegaṃ gacchati na saṃtapyate na saṃkṣubhyati lokaḥ; harṣaḥ priyalābhe antaḥkaraṇasya utkarṣaḥ romāñcanāśrupātādiliṅgaḥ, amarṣaḥ asahiṣṇutā, bhayaṃ trāsaḥ, udvegaḥ udvignatā.
Acharya Ramanuja. yaḥ lokodvegakaraṃ karma kiṃcid api na karoti — one who does nothing that would distress people; yam uddiśya sarvaloko na udvegakaraṃ karma karoti, sarvāvirodhitvaniścayāt — and towards whom people too do nothing distressing, because everyone knows he is no one's opponent.
