अन्यस्य रघुकुलेन्दो यदि चैते महामुनयो महर्षयश्च विप्राश्च राजानश्च ज्ञानकवचेनावगुण्ठितशरीरास्ते कथमदुःखक्षमा अपि दुःखकरीं तां तां वृत्तिपूर्विकां संसारकदर्थनामनुभवन्तः सततमेव मुदितमनसस्तिष्ठन्ति ॥ १८ ॥

Look here Rama! on these great sages and Rishis, these Brahmans and princes, who having fortified themselves by the armour of wisdom, and being liable to no pain or grief; have yet engaged themselves to the arduous affairs of this world with minds as placid as yours.
