భోగే రోగభయం కులే చ్యుతిభయం విత్తే నృపాలాద్భయం
మానే ధైన్యభయం బలే రిపుభయం రూపే జరాయా భయమ్ ।
శాస్త్రే వాదిభయం గుణే ఖలభయం కాయే కృతాంతాద్భయం
సర్వం వస్తు భయాన్వితం భువి నృణాం వైరాగ్య మే వాభయమ్ ॥
- Bhartrihari Vairagya Satakam - 31
bhoge roga bhayam = in the enjoyments there is a fear of falling ill
kule chyuti bhayam = In the high order of society there is a fear of falling off
vitte nrupaalaat bhayam = in wealth there is a fear of government (tax man)
maane dainya bhayam = in honor there is a fear of humiliation
bale ripu bhayam = in power there is a fear of enemy
ruupe jarayaa bhayam = in beauty there is fear of old age
sastre vaadi bhayam = in the sastras there is a fear of opponents
gune khala bhayam = in virtue there is a fear of vicious ones
kaaye krutaantaat bhayam = in the body there is a fear of death (lord yama)
sarvam vastuh bhayaanivtam bhuvihi - all vastus (things) are always come along with some sort of fear in this world
nrunaam vairagyam eva abhayam - for the people "dispassion" - vairagya alone is fearlessness!
