Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

न यत्र दुःखं न सुखं न द्वेषो नापि मत्सरः ।
समः सर्वेषु भूतेषु स शान्तः प्रथितो रसः
na yatra duḥkhaṃ na sukhaṃ na dveṣo nāpi matsaraḥ |
samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu sa śāntaḥ prathito rasaḥ

The line

Where there is no pain, no pleasure, no hatred, and no envy, equal in all beings: that is famed as the peaceful rasa (रस).

नेपालीमा

जहाँ दुःख छैन, सुख छैन, घृणा छैन र ईर्ष्या छैन, र जो सबै प्राणीमा समान छ, त्यो शान्त रस भनेर प्रसिद्ध छ।

Where it sits

The verse's own na (न) is on pain, pleasure, hatred, and envy. What remains is sameness toward all beings.

Split: na (न) yatra (यत्र) duḥkhaṃ (दुःखं) na (न) sukhaṃ (सुखं) na (न) dveṣo (द्वेषो) nāpi (नापि) matsaraḥ (मत्सरः) / samaḥ (समः) sarveṣu (सर्वेषु) bhūteṣu (भूतेषु) sa (स) śāntaḥ (शान्तः) prathito (प्रथितो) rasaḥ (रसः)
