āśāpāśaśatairbaddhāḥ kāmakrodhaparāyaṇāḥ . īhante kāmabhogārthamanyāyenārthasañcayān
Von Hunderten von Fesseln der Hoffnung (Āśā-pāśa) gebunden, ganz der Begierde (Kāma) und dem Zorn (Krodha) hingegeben, streben sie danach, Reichtümer auf unrechtmäßige Weise für den Genuss sinnlicher Objekte anzuhäufen.
Bound by hundreds of shackles in the form of hope, giving themselves wholly to passion and anger, they endeavour to amass wealth through foul means for the enjoyment of desirable objects.
Diese Menschen sind von unzähligen Erwartungen und Begierden gefesselt. Sie sind vollständig der Leidenschaft und dem Zorn verfallen und bemühen sich, Reichtümer mit unlauteren Mitteln anzuhäufen, einzig und allein zum Zweck des sinnlichen Genusses.
They murder people and rob them of their wealth in order to have sensual enjoyments. They amass wealth for sensepleasure only? but not for doing righteous actions. They have no mercy. They are very cruel. They are held in bondage by a hundred ties of expectation. They harbour in their hearts a craving for all kinds of sensual objects. Various sorts of desires crop up in their mind. When their desires are not gratified they become furious. They acire wealth by unjust means. Hope or expectation binds a man to the wheel of Samsara.,Therefore hope is likened to a cord or a rope. There is no end to their cravings. Though they possess enormous wealth their cravings are not appeased. They multiply daily. These people become hopeless victims of greed.
