D C. Time includes the Past and the Future. The Present may not be considered here, as it is brief. This time has no commencement nor is it to end at any time.
'Yonigahana' may be construed either with the time or with the world. With the time, it would mean Caught by the many eighty four hundred thousand existences". With the world or rather mundane existence) it means one which is confused or intrigued (gahané) with births, deaths, diseases, sorrow, and the like.
The Samsara is fierce; because it is the cause of the results of previous actions. In such a place, the living beings have wan dered in the past and will (surely, wander in the future for a long time being confused-in these intricacies till they secure ( and execute ) the auspicious advice of the Divine One.
Some read " Bhamiya bhamanti bhamihinti.” The v. 1, also is alright, For, Here, all the times (including the present) are considered 49.
