The thirteen / Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upanishad / Adhyāya 1 · Brāhmaṇa 4

BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 1.4.2

सो ऽबिभेत् तस्माद् एकाकी बिभेति ।
स हायम् ईक्षां चक्रे, यन् मद् अन्यन् नास्ति कस्मान् नु बिभेमीति ।
तत एवास्य भयं वीयाय ।
कस्माद् ध्य् अभेष्यत् ।
द्वितीयाद् वै भयं भवति ॥

so ’bibhet tasmād ekākī bibheti ।
sa hāyam īkṣāṃ cakre, yan mad anyan nāsti kasmān nu bibhemīti ।
tata evāsya bhayaṃ vīyāya ।
kasmād dhy abheṣyat ।
dvitīyād vai bhayaṃ bhavati ॥

He feared, and therefore any one who is lonely fears. He thought, 'As there is nothing but myself, why should I fear?' Thence his fear passed away. For what should he have feared? Verily fear arises from a second only.
