water body. These waves are spreading far in the form of worrying conditions and incidents. Giant and sky high waves of death and bondage are rising. That sea echoes with the thundering sounds of our sharp cries of grief and loud hails of greed.
The surface of these waters is covered with the foams of insult and repudiation. It is constantly agitated with the waves shattering on hard rocks of intolerable slandering, constant agony of disease, subjugation, destruction, insult, harsh reprimands, and the bondage of eight karmas including jnananvaraniya. Indeed, that he surface is true embodiment of death.
This ocean is contained within the expansive abyss of passions (anger, conceit, deceit and greed) as its base. It has the water of extreme sins accumulated during hundreds of thousands of rebirths. It comes under the gloom of darkness due to the spray of droplets of water thrown up by strong winds of thoughts maligned by endless desires. It also has splashes of bright white in the former of the foams of hope and craving for the hitherto unrealized.
This ocean of mundane life has large vortexes of fondness with smaller whirlpools of indulgence. The extremely agitated and whirling water of miseries continues to rise and fall. This sea is sure infested with ferocious, cruel and blood-thirsty aquatic beings in the form of pramad (torpor and delusion). Tormented and mauled by these creatures, the worldly beings wail and cry bitterly while being en tossed around. The terrifying thunder of this ocean appears as if it is the echo of these fearsome sounds of wailing.
Swimming around in this ocean of rebirths are the fishes of ignorance. The continuous movement of fierce giant crocodiles of restless sense organs agitates the sea and water sprouts, dances, moves and whirls with great speed.
Mountains and rocks of indiscipline, fear, grief and falsehood make the ocean all the more tortuous. The quagmire of the dirt of karmas and resultant sorrows in the form of attachment and aversion add to the difficulties of crossing it. It has dubious ebbs and tides of a unending cycles of rebirths in the four dimensions, namely, divine, human, animal and infernal. The said four dimensions form its four banks. This ocean looks huge, endless, fierce and terrifying.
