________________
A person having desires for attributes (pleasures) leads a life in stupor of obsessions (longing for pleasures), such as—
"This is my mother, my father, my brother, my sister, my wife, my son, my daughter, my daughter-in-law, my friend, my kin, relative or cohabit, my various and numerous equipment (horse, chariot, seat etc.), things for barter, food and dresses.
Thus captivated by the fondness of owning (things), an individual so stupefied lives with them.
That captivated person is tormented day and night by cravings and worries. Timely or untimely, he continues to work to earn. Becoming opportunistic and avaricious he turns into a bandit or a thief or a dacoit. He develops into a daredevil and acts without thinking. He is obsessed with a variety of ambitions. He employs weapons time and again.
विवेचन-पाँच इन्द्रियों के विषय 'गुण' है। इष्ट विषय के प्रति राग और अनिष्ट विषय के प्रति द्वेष की भावना से कषाय की वृद्धि होती है और कषाय ही जन्म-मरण के मूल को सींचते हैं | आगम में कहा है
'चत्तारि एए कसिणा कसाया सिंचतिं मूलाई पुणब्भवस्स"
“ये चारों कषाय पुनर्भव - जन्म-मरण की जड़ को सींचते हैं। "
अतः इन्द्रियों की विषयासक्ति ही संसार का मूल कारण है।

Elaboration-The subjects of five sense organs are called attributes. The feelings of attachment for the desirable and aversion of the undesirable cause growth of passions. And passions nourish the roots of rebirth or life and death, as is said
"These four passions nourish the root of rebirth."
Jain Education International
( दशवैकालिक ८/४०)
(Dashavaikalik 8/40)
Therefore the obsession for the pleasures of senses is the root cause of this world or the cycles of rebirth.
