उदासीनः कर्तृतां च कर्माकर्माचरंश्च यः ।
समं यात्यन्तरत्यन्तं महाकर्ता स उच्यते ॥ १८ ॥

udāsīnaḥ kartṛtāṃ ca karmākarmācaraṃśca yaḥ |
samaṃ yātyantaratyantaṃ mahākartā sa ucyate || 18 ||

He who does his works with unconcern and without assuming to himself the vanity of being the doer of it, is accounted as the best actor, that acts his part with his body, but keeps his mind quite unattached to it.
