śatakatrayam 3.31: bhoge rogabhayaṃ (while wallowing in pleasures)

by Jahnabi Barooah

भोगे रोगभयं कुले च्युतिभयं वित्ते नृपालाद्भयं
माने दैन्यभयं बले रिपुभयं रूपे जराया भयम् ।
शास्त्रे वादिभयं गुणे खलभयं काये कृतान्ताद्भयं
सर्वं वस्तु भयान्वितं भुवि नृणां वैराग्यमेवाभयम् ।।३१।।
वैराग्यशतके

while wallowing in pleasures, fear of ailment.
with noble lineage, fear of disgrace.
with wealth, fear of powerful thieves.
with self-respect, fear of losing.
with strength, fear of enemies.
with beauty, fear of old age.
with scholarship, fear of learned disputants.
with virtue, fear of wicked people.
with a mortal body, fear of death.
everything is accompanied by fear!
for men on earth,
dispassion is the only fearless state. ||31||
