Verse 5.11.1

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
इति संचिन्त्य जनको यथाप्राप्तां क्रियामसौ ।
असक्तः कर्तुमुत्तस्थौ दिनं दिनपतिर्यथा ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
iti saṃcintya janako yathāprāptāṃ kriyāmasau |
asaktaḥ kartumuttasthau dinaṃ dinapatiryathā || 1 ||

Vasishtha related:—Having thought so, Janaka rose up for performance of his daily rites as usual, and without the sense of his agency in them. He did his duty in the same manner as the sun rises every day to give the morn, without his consciousness of it.
