जनक उवाच- अकिंचनभवं स्वास्थ्यं कौपीनत्वेऽपि दुर्लभं। त्यागादाने विहायास्मादहमासे यथासुखम्॥ 1 ॥

janaka uvāca- akiñcanabhavaṁ svāsthyaṁ kaupīnatve’pi durlabhaṁ | tyāgādāne vihāyāsmādahamāse yathāsukham || 1 ||

Translation

Janaka said: The ease that comes from having nothing is difficult to attain even with just a loincloth. Therefore, giving up both renunciation and acquisition, I live happily.
