PAÑCALINGĪPRAKARANAM : 35
Ta tāṇa kae duḥkhasayanibandhanam,

What a wonder that he accepts hundreds of miserable pains | Of working hard, accumulation and of karmic bondage ||17 ||
17. For that illusion of pleasure where the soul takes the pain of sensual indulgence as pleasure, the hapless creature indulges in many a bodily and mentally painful activity of rsinful trade and (dishonest) business etc as well as undue accumulation and attachment thereof and, thus, also accepts the resultant karmic bondage. Here, the author establishes a cause and effect relationship between desire for sensual pleasures and sinning and accumulation.
