चिन्तामपरिमेयां च प्रलयान्तामुपाश्रिताः | कामोपभोगपरमा एतावदिति निश्चिताः
cintāmaparimeyāṃ ca pralayāntāmupāśritāḥ . kāmopabhogaparamā etāvaditi niścitāḥ
他們被無數的憂慮所困擾,這些憂慮唯有死亡才能終結;他們將感官享樂視為最高目標,並堅信這就是一切。
Beset with innumerable cares which end (only) with death, holding that the enjoyment of desirable objects is the highest goal, feeling sure that this is all.
他們被巨大的憂慮、煩惱和焦慮所困擾,心神完全沉浸在獲取和保存無數感官對象之中。他們堅信感官享樂是人類的最高目的,並沉溺於感官對象的享樂之中。他們堅定地相信這就是一切,認為感官享樂是幸福的最高來源,而沒有靈魂的永恆至福或超越自我的至福。他們不相信另一個世界(或層面)的幸福,也不相信獨立於感官對象、超越感官所能及的永恆至福。他們的智力遲鈍而粗糙,因此無法領會微妙的更高真理。感官享樂對他們來說是最大的追求目標。
They are beset with immense cares? worries and anxieties and their minds are engrossed in aciring and preserving the countless sensual objects. They have got the strong conviction that the sensual enjoyment is the highest end of a man. They are steeped in enjoying the objects of the senses. They firmly believe that that is everything. They believe that sensual enjoyment is the supreme source of happiness and there is no such thing as eternal bliss of the soul or transcendental bliss of the Self. They have no belief in the happiness in another world (or plane) or in the perennial bliss which is independent of sensual objects? which is beyond the reach of the senses. They have a dull and gross intellect? and so they cannot grasp the subtle higher truth. Sensual enjoyment is the greatest object of attainment for them.
