Simple Translation (based on puththUr krishNamAchArya swAmy’s thamizh translation)
Having been removed of longings and hatred (by my (krishNa’s) grace), with the senses that are under the control of self, having crossed over the sense objects such as Sabdha (sound) etc, such man who controls his mind attains clarity of thought.
Rendering based on ALkoNdavilli gOvindhAchArya swAmy’s English translation of gIthA bhAshyam
‘With senses bereft of longings and loathings, and kept under control, the man who despises delights, and whose mind is in his bidding, obtains pellucidness1 of mind.’
Whoso, as above declared (verses 61, ante), places his mind in Me, the Lord of all, – because I am the Holy Subject for thought -, all his taints are thoroughly expunged. The senses become destitute of cravings and loathings, and are mastered. He thus rejects from him all sense-delights; and has his mind under control. He gains pellucidness of mind (prasāda 2), i.e., purity (plus cheerfulness) of the internal organ (antah-karaṇa).
