Katha Upanishad 12: Verse 12
स्वर्गे लोके न भयं किञ्चनास्ति न तत्र त्वां न जरया बिभेति। उभे तीर्त्वाशनायापिपासे शोकातिगो मोदते स्वर्गलोके ॥१२॥
स्वर्गे लोके न भयं किञ्चन अस्ति न तत्र त्वां न जरया बिभेति। उभे तीर्त्वा अशनाया अपिपासे शोक-अतिगो मोदते स्वर्ग-लोके ॥
svarge loke na bhayaṃ kiñcanāsti na tatra tvaṃ na jarayā bibheti | ubhe tīrtvāśanāyāpipāse śokātigo modate svargaloke ||
Dans le monde céleste, il n'existe aucune crainte; là, l'on ne redoute point la vieillesse. Ayant traversé au-delà de la faim et de la soif, transcendant le chagrin, l'on se réjouit dans le monde céleste.
In the heavenly world there is no fear whatsoever; there one is not afraid of old age. Having crossed beyond both hunger and thirst, transcending sorrow, one rejoices in the heavenly world.
