Since everything is dependent on the supreme will of the Personality of Godhead, one should be equipoised in fame and defamation, victory and defeat, life and death. In their effects, represented as happiness and distress, one should maintain oneself in equilibrium, without anxiety.

Translation
Therefore, one should think equally of infamy and fame, victory and defeat, happiness and distress, death and life. Samaḥ means “thinking of them as equal.” Sukha-duḥkhabhyām should be sukha-duḥkhayoḥ.
