Holding pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat as alike, gird yourself up for the battle. Thus, you shall not incur any sin.

Swami Gambirananda

Treating happiness and sorrow, gain and loss, and contest and defeat with equanimity, then engage in battle. Thus you will not incur sin.

Having made pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat the same, engage thou in battle for the sake of battle; thus thou shalt not incur sin.
