The second and third circles, and in them two words worth analyzing. The first — ākarṣiṇī, «the attracting ones», sixteen in number; «attraction» here is not an abstraction but a precise word — these are the powers that draw one toward an object. Their names are Kāma, Buddhi, Ahaṅkāra, Śabda, Sparśa, and the rest: a person is drawn through desire, through intellect, through self-conceit, through hearing, through touch.
This list is, in essence, an inventory of the entrances: what a person is caught by. And it is rightly placed — in the second circle, right after the powers: first one is drawn by abilities, then through the senses and the mind. The third circle is called saṅkṣobhaṇa, «agitation»; the word means «churning, throwing into confusion». This circle disturbs and unsettles.
This order describes not an ascent, but what happens along the way: first temptation by power, then attraction through the senses, then confusion. And confusion is placed closer to the center than temptation: the closer a person gets, the more he is shaken — an observation any traveler on the path will confirm.
