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 ||
天界には何ら恐れるものはなく、そこでは老いを恐れることもありません。飢えと渇きの両方を超え、悲しみを超越して、天界において喜びに満ちます。
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.
