In English
When a person dwells on the objects of sense, they create an attraction for them; this attraction develops into desire, and desire breeds anger.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
When one thinks of objects, attachment to them arises; from attachment, desire is born; from desire, anger arises.
Translated by Swami Sivananda
