Bhartṛhari K294

Tawney

            
            In happiness men fear disease, the haughty shrink from scorn, 
            
            The rich, the wise, the men of might, dread princes, critics, foes;
            
            Envy blights virtue, eld good looks, death threatens all things born, 
            
            The hermit's humble life alone gives undisturbed repose.

            Fear troubles pleasure lest it sap our health; 
            
            Fear marreth beauty for the hideous stealth
            
            Of love; fear prophesies to pride her fall;
            
            Fear palsies strength, and warns the loss of wealth.
            
            Fear poisons learning for another's fame;
            
            Fear haunts the flesh with dissolution's shame;
            
            Fear is to live ; — save when the soul withdrawn 
            
            Looks out and laughs at the world's care and claim.

Mādhavānanda

            
              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।।
            
            31. In enjoyment, there is the fear of disease; in social position, the fear of falling-off; in wealth, the fear of (hostile) kings; in honour, the fear of humiliation; in power, the fear of enemies; in beauty, the fear of old age; in scriptural erudition, the fear of opponents; in virtue, the fear of traducers; in body, the fear of death. All the things of this world pertaining to man are attended with fear; renunciation alone stands for fearlessness.

St. XXXV . In [ case of ] silence there is the

danger of being [ considered ) spiritless . This however destroys

the symmetry of the Stanza . And hence the other reading would

be better as meaning " where there is high sense of one's own

greatness there is danger of misery . " This Stanza occurs at p .

6 of the Kavyasangraha . - S'árdúlavikridita .
