20.103

Furthermore, the new *Abhidharma-mahāvibhāṣā-śāstra* asks: “Between ordinary beings and noble ones, who has fear? Some say: ‘Ordinary beings have fear’ (ordinary being is the old term for puthujjana/pṛthagjana), ‘and noble ones have no fear. Why? Because noble ones have already abandoned the five fears. The five fears are: first, fear of [inability to maintain] livelihood; second, fear of ill repute; third, fear of timidity before assemblies; fourth, fear of death; fifth, fear of evil destinies.’”
