जनक उवाच हन्तात्मज्ञस्य धीरस्य खेलतो भोगलीलया, न हि संसारवाहीकैर्मूढैः सह समानता। ॥1॥
janaka uvāca hantātmajñasya dhīrasya khelato bhogalīlayā, na hi saṁsāra-vāhīkair-mūḍhaiḥ saha samānatā. (1)
Janaka expresses wonder at how a wise person, who understands their true self, lives life joyfully and is vastly different from those who are lost in ignorance and burdened by worldly concerns.
