1v.215 "By what is the world ensnared?
By what is it enveloped?
By what is the world shut in?
On what is the world established?"

2v.216 "The world is ensnared by craving;
It is enveloped by old age;
The world is shut in by death;
The world is established on suffering." [n.125] Spk: The world is ensnared by craving (taṇhaya uḍḍito) because the eye, caught withthe rope of craving, is ensnared on the peg of forms; so too with the ear and ensnared on the peg of forms; so too with the ear and sounds, etc. The world is shut in by death (maccuna pihito): Even though the kamma done in the last life is only one mind-moment away, beings do not know it because they are shut off from it, as if by a mountain, by the strong pains occurring at the time of death.

1"Kenassu uḍḍito loko,
kenassu parivārito;
Kenassu pihito loko,
kismiṁ loko patiṭṭhito"ti.

2"Taṇhāya uḍḍito loko,
jarāya parivārito;
Maccunā pihito loko,
dukkhe loko patiṭṭhito"ti.
