[757] **"Play, delight, and sensual pleasure in the world" (khiḍḍā ratī kāmasukhañca loke):**
**Play (khiḍḍā):** there are two kinds of play — bodily play and verbal play. … this is bodily play. … this is verbal play.
**Delight (ratī):** this is a designation for the absence of discontent — "delight."
**Sensual pleasure (kāmasukha):** for this was said by the Blessed One: "Bhikkhus, there are these five strands of sensual pleasure (kāmaguṇā). What five? Forms cognizable by the eye that are desirable, lovely, agreeable, pleasing, connected with sensuality, provocative of lust; sounds cognizable by the ear; odors cognizable by the nose; tastes cognizable by the tongue; tangibles cognizable by the body that are desirable, lovely, agreeable, pleasing, connected with sensuality, provocative of lust. These, bhikkhus, are the five strands of sensual pleasure. Bhikkhus, whatever pleasure and joy arises in dependence on these five strands of sensual pleasure — this is called sensual pleasure." Hence, "and sensual pleasure."
**In the world (loke):** in the world of men. Hence, "play, delight, and sensual pleasure in the world."
