16.12 Bound by a hundred ties of hope, given over to lust and anger, they strive to obtain by unlawful means hoards to wealth for sensual enjoyments.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaEnglish

Bound by hundreds of desires, entangled in the net of delusion, addicted to sense enjoyment and attached to the gratification of their own lust, they descend into a hellish existence.
