Simple Translation
One who is detached from all (likeable aspects) and who is neither glorifying (auspicious aspects) nor abhorring (inauspicious aspects) even after achieving those auspicious and inauspicious aspects, his knowledge stays firm and he is also known as sthitha pragya.
Rendering based on ALkoNdavilli gOvindhAchArya swAmy’s English translation of gIthA bhAshyam
‘His will or consciousness is said to be established who, nowhere, forms attachments; who neither exults when an auspicious event may befall nor abhors an inauspicious event befalling.’ [3. This stage is called Vyatireka-Saṃjñā.]
Nowhere forming attachments: means, to be in an indifferent, (passive or unconcerned) attitude. Auspicious is the event when something liked happens; inauspicious is that, when a thing detested happens. So be not overjoyed at the one, and be not hateful towards the other.
This man also is the will-cultured (sthita-prajñaḥ).
