Translation
In sense-pleasures there is the fear of (getting afflicted with) diseases. In a renowned family, there is the fear of slipping from that top position. (by bad behavior). In possessing wealth, there is fear from the king. (He may take it away) In honor, there is the fear of attaining wretched states. In strength there is fear from the enemies. In beauty, there is the fear of old age. In the mastery of scriptures, there is fear from the opponents (who argue vehemently using dry logic) In being virtuous, there is fear from the wicked. In having the body, there is the fear of death. All objects in the world are accompanied by fears for men. Dispassion alone remains free of any fear. ॥ 31 ॥
