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 ॥

Recitation with translationKatha Upanishad 1.1.12

svarge loke na bhayaṃ kiñcanāsti na tatra tvaṃ na jarayā bibheti | ubhe tīrtvāśanāyāpipāse śokātigo modate svargaloke ||

സ്വർഗ്ഗലോകത്ത് ഒരു ഭയവും ഇല്ല; അവിടെ വാർദ്ധക്യത്തെ ഭയക്കുന്നില്ല. വിശപ്പും ദാഹവും ഇരുവരും കടന്നുപോയി, ദുഃഖത്തെ അതിലംഘിച്ച്, സ്വർഗ്ഗലോകത്ത് ആനന്ദിക്കുന്നു.

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.
