Verse 6.43.27

निराकाङ्क्षी स्थितोऽस्म्यन्तः सुमेरुः कनकेष्विव ।
न तदस्त्यस्ति यत्राशा न तदस्ति यदीप्सितम् ॥ २७ ॥

nirākāṅkṣī sthito'smyantaḥ sumeruḥ kanakeṣviva |
na tadastyasti yatrāśā na tadasti yadīpsitam || 27 ||

I am unconcerned with all worldly affairs, as the mount Suméru is insensible of the golden ores in its bosom and having all things about me, I am quite indifferent to them; because I have not what I expect to have, nor do I possess the object of my fond desire.
