[375] **When the flood has arisen, the great peril** (oghe jāte mahabbhaye): when the flood of sensuality (kāmogha), the flood of existence (bhavogha), the flood of views (diṭṭhogha), and the flood of ignorance (avijjogha) have arisen, come into being, been produced, been fully produced, become manifest. **The great peril** (mahabbhaye): the peril of birth (jāti), the peril of aging (jarā), the peril of illness (byādhi), the peril of death (maraṇa) — hence, "when the flood has arisen, when the great peril has come to be."
