他們被數百條希望的繩索所束縛，完全沉溺於慾望和憤怒，為了感官享樂，他們不擇手段地積聚財富。
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.
為了感官享樂，他們殺人越貨，掠奪他人的財富。他們積聚財富僅為感官享樂，而非為了行善。他們毫無憐憫之心，極其殘酷。他們被數百條期望的繩索所束縛，心中懷有對各種感官對象的渴望。各種慾望在他們心中滋生。當他們的慾望未能滿足時，他們便會變得狂怒。他們透過不正當的手段獲取財富。希望或期望將人束縛在輪迴（Samsara）之輪上，因此希望被比作繩索。他們的渴望永無止境，儘管擁有巨額財富，他們的渴望仍未平息，反而日益增長。這些人成為貪婪的無望受害者。
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.
