ITRANS:

tasmād akīrti-yaśasorjayāpajayayor apisamaḥ syāt sukha-duḥkhābhyāṁmṛtyu-jīvitayos tathā

Translation:

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.
