अर्जयित्वाऽखिलानर्थान् भोगानाप्नोति पुष्कलान् ।
न हि सर्व परित्यागमन्तरेण सुखी भवेत् ॥२॥
( कश्चित् One ) अखिलान् all अर्थान् worldly objects
अर्जयित्वा acquiring पुष्कलान् abundant भोगान् enjoyments
आप्नोति attains सर्वपरित्यागमन्तरेण without the renunciation
of all surely happy not becomes.
2. One gets abundant enjoyments by
acquiring all worldly objects. Surely¹ one
cannot be happy without renouncing all.
[Surely etc.-That renunciation alone removes
all fear and makes us truly happy is very beautifully
illustrated by Bhartrihari in a verse in his Hundred
Verses on Renunciation. It says: "In enjoyment,
there is the fear of disease; in social position, the
fear of falling off; in wealth, the fear of (hostile)
kings; in honour, the fear of humiliation; in power,
the fear of foemen; in beauty, the fear of old age; in
scriptural erudition, the fear of opponents; in virtue,
the fear of traducers; in body, the fear of death.
All the things of the world pertaining to men are
attended with fear; renunciation alone eliminates all
fear."
