| daivi sampad vimokshaya
nibandhayasuri mata। ma suchah sampadam daivim abhijato ’si pandava॥ 16.5 ॥ |
Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, The transcendental qualities are conducive to liberation, whereas the demoniac qualities make for bondage. Do not worry Arjuna, for you are born with the divine qualities.
| dvau bhuta-sargau loke ’smin
daiva asura eva cha। daivo vistarasah prokta asuram partha me shrinu॥ 16.6 ॥ |
Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, in this world there are two kinds of created beings. One is called the divine and the other demoniac. I have already explained to you at length the divine qualities. Now hear from Me of the demoniac.
| pravrttim cha nivrttim cha
jana na vidur asurah। na shaucham napi chacharo na satyam tesu vidyate॥ 16.7 ॥ |
Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done. Neither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth is found in them.
| asatyam apratishtham te
jagad ahur anishvaram। aparaspara-sambhutam kim anyat kama-haitukam॥ 16.8 ॥ |
Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, They say that this world is unreal, with no foundation, no God in control. They say it is produced of sex desire and has no cause other than lust.
