2.20
jvalitaṃ na hiraṇyaretasaṃ cayam āskandati bhasmanāṃ janaḥ
abhibhūtibhayād asūn ataḥ sukham ujjhanti na dhāma māninaḥ //
People do not tread upon a blazing fire, / but they do tread upon a heap of ashes; / therefore, out of fear of humiliation, proud men / willingly give up their lives, but not their fiery splendor.
