2.29
jarayā, yathā-
vivṛddhiṃ kampasya prathayatitarāṃ sādhvasa-vaśād
avispaṣṭāṃ dṛṣṭiṃ tirayatitarāṃ bāṣpa-salilaiḥ |
skhalad-varṇāṃ vāṇīṃ janayatitarāṃ gadgadatayā
jarāyāḥ sāhāyyaṃ mama hi paritoṣo' dya kurute ||
From old age, as in:
"It greatly increases my tremor through fear;
it greatly dims my indistinct sight with streams of tears;
it greatly produces speech of faltering syllables through choked utterance—
today my joy indeed aids old age!"

2.29.p2
atra harṣasya jarā-sahakāritva-kathanād ubhayānubhāvair api kampādibhir jarā-glāner eva prādhānyaṃ gamyate |
Here, since joy is spoken of as a companion to old age, the predominance of exhaustion through old age itself is understood, even through the consequents common to both, such as trembling.
