Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Visnuswami
Sridhara Swami's Commentary

Of cheaters who defraud each other, Lord Krishna's vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is dyutam or gambling. Of the powerful His vibhuti is the valiant, of the victorious His vibhuti is victory, of the energetic His vibhuti is the endeavour and His vibhuti is the strength of the mighty.

Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Ramanuja
Ramanuja's Commentary

Lord Krishna reveals that of cheaters His vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is gambling the art of plundering those who cheat. His vibhuti is victory for the victorious and His vibhuti is perseverance for the enterprising . The word sattvam refers to goodness and of those who are good, His vibhuti is the magnanimity and goodness they possesses.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Nimbaditya
Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary

Among those practising fraud to deceive others Lord Krishna's vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is dyutam or gambling. His vibhuti is the glory of the glorious, the victory of the victorious, the diligence of the diligent and the sattvam or goodness meaning pious conduct of the righteous characterised by knowledge and dispassion.

Thus ends commentaries of chapter 10, verse 36 of the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.
