The Singhala translation is less of a riddle than the English. English retranslation is mine:
(අධ්යාත්මික ආයතන) සය උපන් කල්හි ලොව උපන්නේ නම් වේ.
When the 6 sense bases arises the world arises
(රූපාදී බාහිර ආයතන) සයෙහි සඞගමය කෙරෙයි.
By non-reaction to the external sense objects, the world is stilled
(අධ්යාත්මික ආයතන) සයම ප්රත්යය කොට ගෙන
By means of the 6 sense bases
(බාහිර ආයතන) සයෙහි ලෝ වැසි තෙම පෙළෙයි (වෙහෙසෙයි)
The 6 external sense objects trouble the worldlings
ලොක ( හෙවත් ජස්සුලොක ) සූත්රය
අධ්යාත්මික ආයතන - world - internal senses - eye, ear, ....
බාහිර ආයතන - external sense objects
So what is covered here is the 1st 2 items in the list of items in Cha Chakka Sutta:
- the 6 internal senses
- the 6 external senses

In what has the world arisen? Kismiṃ loko samuppanno?
And what, bhikkhus, is the origin of the world (lokassa samudayo)?
In dependence on the eye and forms, eye-consciousness arises. The meeting of the three is contact. With contact as condition, feeling comes to be; with feeling as condition, craving; with craving as condition, clinging; with clinging as condition, existence; with existence as condition, birth; with birth as condition, aging-and-death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, displeasure, and despair come to be. This, bhikkhus, is the origin of the world.
In dependence on the ear and sounds …
- In dependence on the nose and odours …
- In dependence on the tongue and tastes …
- In dependence on the body and tactile objects …
In dependence on the mind and mental phenomena, mind-consciousness arises. The meeting of the three is contact. With contact as condition, feeling comes to be; with feeling as condition, craving; with craving as condition, clinging … existence … birth; with birth as condition, aging-and-death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, displeasure, and despair come to be. This, bhikkhus, is the origin of the world.
