कुत्रापि खेदः कायस्य, जिह्वा कुत्रापि खिद्यते । मनः कुत्रापि तत्त्यक्त्वा पुरुषार्थे स्थितः सुखम् ॥
kutrāpi khedaḥ kāyasya, jihvā kutrāpi khidyate | manaḥ kutrāpi tattyaktvā puruṣārthe sthitaḥ sukham ||
Somewhere the body grows weary, somewhere the tongue grows tired, somewhere the mind. Leaving all that, I rest happily in the true goal of life.
कहीं शरीर थकता है, कहीं जीभ थकती है, कहीं मन। इन सबको छोड़कर मैं पुरुषार्थ (परम लक्ष्य) में सुखपूर्वक स्थित हूँ।

Every kind of effort, physical, verbal, mental, eventually tires us. There is a rest that does not depend on any of these efforts.
हर प्रकार का प्रयास, शरीर का, वाणी का, मन का, आख़िर थका देता है। एक ऐसा विश्राम है जो इनमें से किसी प्रयास पर निर्भर नहीं।
Janaka tells Ashtavakra how he now lives at ease: body, speech and mind each get tired in their own work, so he rests in the true aim instead.
