Bhagavad Gītā (Kashmirian recension)5.18

5.18
स्मरन्तोऽपि मुहुस्त्वेतत्स्पृशन्तोऽपि स्वकर्मणि । सक्ता अपि न सज्जन्ति पङ्के रविकरा इव ॥ ५-१८ ॥
smaranto'pi muhustvetatspṛśanto'pi svakarmaṇi | saktā api na sajjanti paṅke ravikarā iva || 5-18 ||
— though they remember it again and again ; — though they touch their own action ; — though seemingly engaged, they cling not ; — as the sun's rays in mud

Though they recall it again and again, and though they engage in their own action, the engaged cling not — like the sun's rays falling on mud.
