Translation

Detachment is defined as follows: Detachment means “having a natural distaste for the objects of the senses.”

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

Here detachment is the cause, and distaste is the effect, but they are considered the same in the definition, because, they are mutually dependent.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

Detachment The senses are always desiring sense enjoyment, but when a devotee develops transcendental love for Kṛṣṇa his senses are no longer attracted by material desires. This state of mind is called detachment.
