The Vision of Śiva6.112

6.112
तदप्यस्ति कर्तृता चेत्तेषां तत्तादृशं न किम् । अथ राज्ञो यथा राज्यकर्म विदधतः सुखम् ॥११२॥
tadapyasti kartṛtā cetteṣāṃ tattādṛśaṃ na kim | atha rājño yathā rājyakarma vidadhataḥ sukham
— that too belongs (to him) ; — agency ; — if (you say) ; — of them (the liberated) ; — that, of such a kind ; — why not? ; — now ; — of a king ; — just as ; — the business of governance ; — of (a king) conducting it ; — with ease / pleasure

If (you say) that agency too belongs (to Śiva) — then why is not such (agency) of the same kind (and equally untroubled in the liberated)? Now, just as for a king conducting the business of governance there is (only) pleasure (— not toil).
