What does 'loke' mean, in 'Sabba Loke Anabhirata Saññā' (not taking delight in 'worlds')?

I'm referring to [Girimananda Sutta (AN 10.60)](https://suttacentral.net/an10.60/en/sujato) , where the Buddha introduces 9 perceptions + mindfulness with breathing: > The perceptions of impermanence, not-self, ugliness, drawbacks, giving up, fading away, cessation, dissatisfaction with the whole world, non-desire for all conditions, and mindfulness of breathing. Aniccasaññā, anattasaññā, asubhasaññā, ādīnavasaññā, pahānasaññā, virāgasaññā, nirodhasaññā, **sabbaloke** anabhiratasaññā, sabbasaṅkhāresu anicchāsaññā, ānāpānassati. How is this perception to be understood? Is 'Loke' here translated as our 'world' (5 aggregates) or is it the external world and the intrinsic dukkha in it? Thanks
