Translation

They say the world is false, baseless, without a Lord,
Not reciprocally arisen, caused by lust, what else?

Translation

They say that the world is unreal, without a substratum, without a God, and without an order. The world is caused by lust (or Kaama) alone and nothing else.

Translation

They say that this world is unreal, that there is no foundation and that there is no God in control. It is produced of sex desire, and has no cause other than lust.
