janaka uvāca
akiṁcanabhavaṁ svāsthaṁ kaupīnatve'pi durlabham
tyāgādāne vihāyāsmādahamāse yathāsukham
Janaka: The inner freedom of having nothing is hard to achieve,
even with just a loin-cloth, but I live as I please abandoning both
renunciation and acquisition.
कुत्रातऩ खदे ् कामस्य तजह्वा कुत्रातऩ खर्द्ये त े ।

kutrāpi khedaḥ kāyasya jihvā kutrāpi khedyate
manaḥ kutrāpi tattyaktvā puruṣārthe sthitaḥ sukham

Sometimes one experiences distress because of one's body,
sometimes because of one's speech, and sometimes because of
one's mind. Abandoning all of these, I live as I please in the goal
of humanity.

yadā yatkartumāyāti tat kṛtvāse yathāsukham
Recognising that in reality no action is ever committed, I live as I
please, just doing what presents itself to be done.

saṁyogāyogavirahādahamāse yathāsukham
Yogis who identify themselves with their bodies are insistent on
fulfilling and avoiding certain actions, but I live as I please
abandoning attachment and rejection.

arthānarthau na me sthityā gatyā na śayanena vā
tiṣṭhan gacchan svapan tasmādahamāse yathāsukham
No benefit or loss comes to me by standing, walking or lying
down, so consequently I live as I please whether standing,
walking or sleeping.

consequently I live as I please, abandoning loss and success.

Frequently observing the drawbacks of such things as pleasant
objects, I live as I please, abandoning the pleasant and
unpleasant.
