“By what is the world beaten down?

What dart has laid it low?
With what is it always fuming?”
“The world is beaten down by death.
It’s surrounded by old age.
The dart of craving has laid it low.
It’s always fuming with desire.”

Accablé
« Par quoi le monde est-il accablé ?
Par quoi est-il encerclé ?
Quel trait l’a terrassé ?
De quoi est-il toujours fumant ? »
« Le monde est accablé par la mort.
Il est encerclé par la vieillesse.
Le trait de l’avidité l’a terrassé.
Il est toujours fumant de désir. »
