3.31

bhoge rogamayaṃ kule cyuti-bhayaṃ vitte nṛpālād bhayaṃ
māne dhainya-bhayaṃ bale ripu-bhayaṃ rūpe jarāya bhayam |
śāstre vādibhayaṃ guṇe khala-bhayaṃ kāye kṛtāntād bhayaṃ
sarvaṃ vastu bhayānvitaṃ bhuvi nṝṇāṃ vairāgyam evābhayam ||

In sensual pleasure there is fear of disease; in high birth, fear of decline; in wealth, fear of kings; / in honor, fear of humiliation; in strength, fear of enemies; in beauty, fear of old age; / in authoritative treatises, fear of disputants; in virtue, fear of the wicked; in the body, fear of Death: / everything in this world of mortals is fraught with fear; renunciation alone is freedom from fear.
