नाभिनन्दति नैष्कर्म्यं न कर्मस्वनुषज्जते ।
सुसमो यः फलत्यागी सोऽसंसक्त इति स्मृतः ॥ ६ ॥

nābhinandati naiṣkarmyaṃ na karmasvanuṣajjate |
susamo yaḥ phalatyāgī so'saṃsakta iti smṛtaḥ || 6 ||

He is said to be the unattracted or undistracted and self-devoted (stoic); who neither fosters his desires, nor hankers after things, nor continues in his actions at all times of his life.
