Anabhoga \ ah-nah-BHOH-gah \Sanskrit
without effort — of an action, continuing on its own once the effort behind it is done

The work was finished before
the first sound was made.

A boat that has already caught the wind
owes nothing more to rowing.

No one is in the room,
and something is still ringing.
