चिता चिंता समायुक्ते बिन्दुमात्रं विशेषता |
When चिता and चिंता are put together, there is only a dot (ं) of speciality/difference/addition.

सजीवं दहते चिंता निर्जीवं दहते चिता ||
चिंता burns alive where are चिता burns without life!

तात्पर्य: - There is little difference between worried-man and a dead-body.
A person with चिंता (worry) burns one alive, where as a dead-body(चिता) burns without life!
