English Translation - Swami Gambirananda
2.65 When there is serenity, there follows eradication of all his sorrows, because the wisdom of one who has a serene mind soon becomes firmly established.


English Translation - Swami Sivananda
2.65 In that peace all pains are destroyed; for the intellect of the tranil-minded soon becomes steady.


English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
2.65. On attaining serenity,  there arises in succession the extinction of all miseries; the capacity to decide gets stabilized soon indeed in the case of a serene-minded one.


English Commentary  - Swami Sivananda
2.65 प्रसादे in peace? सर्वदुःखानाम् (of) all pains? हानिः destruction? अस्य of him? उपजायते arises (or happens)? प्रसन्नचेतसः of the tranilminded? हि because? आशु soon? बुद्धिः intellect (or reason)? पर्यवतिष्ठते becomes steady.Commentary When the mental peace is attained? there is no hankering after senseobjects. The Yogi has perfect mastery over his reason. The intellect abides in the Self. It is ite steady. The miseries of the body and the mind come to an end.


English Translation of Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Shankaracharya's
2.65 Prasade, when there is serenity; upajayate, there follows; hanih, eradication; asya sarva-duhkhanam, of all his, the sannyasins, sorrow on the physical and other planes. Moreover, (this is so) hi, because; buddhih, the wisdom; prasanna-cetasah, of one who has a serene mind, of one whose mind is poised in the Self; asu, soon; pari-avatisthate, becomes firmly established; remains steady (avatisthate) totally (pari), like the sky, i.e. it becomes unmoving in its very nature as the Self.
The meaning of the sentence is this: Since a person with such a poised mind and well-established wisdom attains fulfilment, therefore a man of concentration [A man who is free whom slavery to objects of the senses.] ought to deal with the indispensable and scripturally non-forbidden objects through his senses that are free from love and hatred.
That same serenity is being eulogized:

2.65 See Comment under 2.68


English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary
2.65 When the mind of this person gets serene, he gets rid of all sorrows originating from contact with matter. For, in respect of the peson whose mind is serene, i.e., is free from the evil which is antagonistic to the vision of the self, the Buddhi, having the pure self for its object, becomes established immediately. Thus, when the mind is serene, the loss of all sorrow surely arises.


Commentary  - Chakravarthi Ji
The intelligence is fixed in its desired goal completely (pari avatisthati). All distress is destroyed, but because of no desire for| enjoying the objects, the person, accepting necessary objects of the senses for his survival, has tranquilify. He has a peaceful consciousness (prasanna cetasah), just because of bhakti.
The first canto of Bhagavatam states that, without bhakti, one cannot have a peaceful mind.22 Vyasadeva, even though writing the Vedanta Sutras, did not have happiness of mind, but he gained peace of heart through bhakti taught by Narada.


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

What happens when the mercy of the Supreme Lord is attained is being  stated
by Lord Krishna in this verse: that the direct result is the destruction  of
all miseries and quickly this happy minded person is  fully  established  in
spiritual intelligence.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

One may wonder how are all sorrows  destroyed  on  attaining  the  state  of
satisfaction? Lord Krishna explains that by achieving tranquillity  of  mind
the intellect becomes established in connecting  to  the  ultimate  reality.
Prasade indicates that by the mercy of the Supreme Lord one neutralises  the
tendency to gravitate towards experiencing  objects of the senses.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Lord Krishna now explains that when the mind  is  placid  and  pure  it  has
enacted for itself the cessation of all miseries  arising  from  conjunction
with prakriti materialism. Prasanna-chetah refers  to  that  delightful  one
whose mind is expunged of all impediments that  hinders  it  from  realising
the eternal soul while  bestowing  the  spiritual  intelligence  needed  for
illumination.  Thus  when  the  mind  has  been  purified  all   sorrow   is
terminated.
