[125] **Followers of agitation, they do not cross over the tie:** craving (taṇhā) is called agitation (ejā) — that is, whatever lust, whatever infatuation … covetousness, greed, the unwholesome root. **Followers of agitation** means: they follow after agitation, have gone along after agitation, have drifted along after agitation, have fallen into agitation; they are fallen, overcome, their minds (citta) wholly possessed [by agitation]. **They do not cross over the tie:** the tie of lust, the tie of hatred, the tie of delusion, the tie of conceit, the tie of views, the tie of defilements, the tie of misconduct — they do not cross, do not cross over, do not cross beyond, do not surmount, do not pass beyond it. Therefore it is said, "Followers of agitation, they do not cross over the tie."
