यस्मिन्नास्ति आलस्यं स नटराजस्य नृत्यलास्यः
यस्मिन् वर्तते आलस्यं मूढस्य स वृथाविलासः ॥

yasminnāsti ālasyaṃ sa naṭarājasya nṛtyalāsyaḥ
yasmin vartate ālasyaṃ mūḍhasya sa vṛthāvilāsaḥ ||

Meaning : The state of utter peacefulness where the intense activity of the Self keeps playing is the dance lāsyaḥ of naṭarāja, where Veda has no access. The state where ignorant keep indulging repeatedly and which results in misery only is bondage. (The Sanskrit root 'las'> lasati, gives us the form ālasyaṃ = laziness, and lāsyah = play / dance.)
