N: vineyya loke abhijjhaadomanassa.m is exactly the same as in the
satipa.t.thaanasutta.
I quote from the commentary as translated by Ven. Soma:

<"In this world." In just this body. Here the body [kaya] is the world
[loka], in the sense of a thing crumbling.

As covetousness and grief are abandoned in feeling, consciousness, and
mental objects, too, the Vibhanga says: "Even the five aggregates of
clinging are the world."

Covetousness stands for sense desire; and grief, for anger. As sense desire
and anger are the principal hindrances, the abandoning of the hindrances is
stated by the overcoming of covetousness and grief.>
N: It crumbles away, lujjati, thus it is the world, loka. See S.n. IV, 52.
(what crumbles away: the eye, objects, eye-consciousness etc. )
