Could be an adverbial accusative of the participle (in a "bound" way ... ?)

Dear All,
I hope you all managed to observe yesterday's beautiful planetary
conjunction which drew a beautiful cosmic smile in the sky. I took
some pictures of this rare event with the Shwedagon Pagoda (the most
revered sacred pagoda in Myanmar) in the background. I would like to
share them with you but I am not sure if I can post pictures in this
group.
I have a question regarding the 3rd verse:
So bajjhata.m paasasatehi chamhi
he / binding / [with] hundred snares / [with] six / [from] delightful
How would you exactly translate "bajjhata.m" ? I suppose it is a
Passive Present Participle the active root being "bandh". Would it
then mean "being bound"? Why does it not agree with the subject "so"
and not written "bajjhanto". It looks like a genitive or dative plural
here and I don't understand why.
Kind regards,
Florent
