दैवासुरसम्पद्विभागयोगः

अभयं सत्त्वसंशुद्धिर्ज्ञानयोगव्यवस्थितिः ।
दानं दमश्च यज्ञश्च स्वाध्यायस्तप आर्जवम्

abhayaṃ sattvasaṃśuddhirjñānayogavyavasthitiḥ |
dānaṃ damaśca yajñaśca svādhyāyastapa ārjavam

Fearlessness, purity of heart, steadfastness in the yoga of knowledge, charity, control of the senses, yajna, study of the scriptures, austerity and straightforwardness,

अहिंसा सत्यमक्रोधस्त्यागः शान्तिरपैशुनम् ।
दया भूतेष्वलोलुप्त्वं मार्दवं ह्रीरचापलम्

ahiṃsā satyamakrodhastyāgaḥ śāntirapaiśunam |
dayā bhūteṣvaloluptvaṃ mārdavaṃ hrīracāpalam

Non-violence, truthfulness, freedom from anger, renunciation, peace, refraining from slander, compassion towards all beings, freedom from greed, gentleness, modesty and steadiness,

दम्भो दर्पोऽभिमानश्च क्रोधः पारुष्यमेव च ।
अज्ञानं चाभिजातस्य पार्थ संपदमासुरीम्

dambho darpo'bhimānaśca krodhaḥ pāruṣyameva ca |
ajñānaṃ cābhijātasya pārtha saṃpadamāsurīm

Hypocrisy, arrogance, self-conceit, anger, harshness and ignorance, O Partha, belong to one born with the demoniac wealth.

द्वौ भूतसर्गौ लोकेऽस्मिन्दैव आसुर एव च ।
दैवो विस्तरशः प्रोक्त आसुरं पार्थ मे शृणु

dvau bhūtasargau loke'smindaiva āsura eva ca |
daivo vistaraśaḥ prokta āsuraṃ pārtha me śṛṇu

There are two kinds of beings created in this world, the divine and the demoniac. The divine has been described at length; now hear from Me, O Partha, about the demoniac.

प्रवृत्तिं च निवृत्तिं च जना न विदुरासुराः ।
न शौचं नापि चाचारो न सत्यं तेषु विद्यते

pravṛttiṃ ca nivṛttiṃ ca janā na vidurāsurāḥ |
na śaucaṃ nāpi cācāro na satyaṃ teṣu vidyate

Demoniac people do not know what ought to be done and what ought to be left undone. Neither purity nor right conduct nor truth is found in them.

असत्यमप्रतिष्ठं ते जगदाहुरनीश्वरम् ।
अपरस्परसंभूतं किमन्यत्कामहैतुकम्

asatyamapratiṣṭhaṃ te jagadāhuranīśvaram |
aparasparasaṃbhūtaṃ kimanyatkāmahaitukam

They say the world is without truth, without foundation and without an Ishvara, born of the union of one with another and caused by desire alone; what else could it be?

एतां दृष्टिमवष्टभ्य नष्टात्मानोऽल्पबुद्धयः ।
प्रभवन्त्युग्रकर्माणः क्षयाय जगतोऽहिताः

etāṃ dṛṣṭimavaṣṭabhya naṣṭātmāno'lpabuddhayaḥ |
prabhavantyugrakarmāṇaḥ kṣayāya jagato'hitāḥ

Holding fast to this view, these lost souls of small understanding and cruel deeds rise up as enemies of the world, for its destruction.

काममाश्रित्य दुष्पूरं दम्भमानमदान्विताः ।
मोहाद्‌गृहीत्वासद्ग्राहान्प्रवर्तन्तेऽशुचिव्रताः

kāmamāśritya duṣpūraṃ dambhamānamadānvitāḥ |
mohād‌gṛhītvāsadgrāhānpravartante'śucivratāḥ

Clinging to desire that can never be filled, full of hypocrisy, pride and arrogance, holding wrong ideas out of delusion, they act with impure vows.

चिन्तामपरिमेयां च प्रलयान्तामुपाश्रिताः ।
कामोपभोगपरमा एतावदिति निश्चिताः

cintāmaparimeyāṃ ca pralayāntāmupāśritāḥ |
kāmopabhogaparamā etāvaditi niścitāḥ

Bound up in endless anxieties that last until death, taking the enjoyment of desires as the highest aim, they are convinced that this is all there is.

आशापाशशतैर्बद्धाः कामक्रोधपरायणाः ।
ईहन्ते कामभोगार्थमन्यायेनार्थसञ्चयान्

āśāpāśaśatairbaddhāḥ kāmakrodhaparāyaṇāḥ |
īhante kāmabhogārthamanyāyenārthasañcayān

Tied by hundreds of cords of hope, given over to desire and anger, they strive to gather heaps of wealth by unjust means for the enjoyment of their desires.

इदमद्य मया लब्धमिमं प्राप्स्ये मनोरथम् ।
इदमस्तीदमपि मे भविष्यति पुनर्धनम्

idamadya mayā labdhamimaṃ prāpsye manoratham |
idamastīdamapi me bhaviṣyati punardhanam

'This I have gained today; this wish I shall fulfil. This wealth is mine, and more will be mine again.'

असौ मया हतः शत्रुर्हनिष्ये चापरानपि ।
ईश्वरोऽहमहं भोगी सिद्धोऽहं बलवान्सुखी

asau mayā hataḥ śatrurhaniṣye cāparānapi |
īśvaro'hamahaṃ bhogī siddho'haṃ balavānsukhī

'That enemy has been slain by me, and I shall slay others too. I am the lord, I am the enjoyer, I am successful, strong and happy.'

आढ्योऽभिजनवानस्मि कोऽन्योऽस्ति सदृशो मया ।
यक्ष्ये दास्यामि मोदिष्य इत्यज्ञानविमोहिताः

āḍhyo'bhijanavānasmi ko'nyo'sti sadṛśo mayā |
yakṣye dāsyāmi modiṣya ityajñānavimohitāḥ

'I am rich and of high birth; who else is equal to me? I shall perform yajna, I shall give, I shall rejoice.' So they speak, deluded by ignorance.

अनेकचित्तविभ्रान्ता मोहजालसमावृताः ।
प्रसक्ताः कामभोगेषु पतन्ति नरकेऽशुचौ

anekacittavibhrāntā mohajālasamāvṛtāḥ |
prasaktāḥ kāmabhogeṣu patanti narake'śucau

Bewildered by many thoughts, caught in the net of delusion, attached to the enjoyment of desires, they fall into a foul hell.

आत्मसंभाविताः स्तब्धा धनमानमदान्विताः ।
यजन्ते नामयज्ञैस्ते दम्भेनाविधिपूर्वकम्

ātmasaṃbhāvitāḥ stabdhā dhanamānamadānvitāḥ |
yajante nāmayajñaiste dambhenāvidhipūrvakam

Self-admiring, stubborn, drunk with wealth and pride, they perform yajnas in name only, with hypocrisy and without following the scriptural rule.

अहंकारं बलं दर्पं कामं क्रोधं च संश्रिताः ।
मामात्मपरदेहेषु प्रद्विषन्तोऽभ्यसूयकाः

ahaṃkāraṃ balaṃ darpaṃ kāmaṃ krodhaṃ ca saṃśritāḥ |
māmātmaparadeheṣu pradviṣanto'bhyasūyakāḥ

Given over to ego, force, arrogance, desire and anger, these envious people hate Me, who dwell in their own bodies and in the bodies of others.

तानहं द्विषतः क्रुरान्संसारेषु नराधमान् ।
क्षिपाम्यजस्रमशुभानासुरीष्वेव योनिषु

tānahaṃ dviṣataḥ krurānsaṃsāreṣu narādhamān |
kṣipāmyajasramaśubhānāsurīṣveva yoniṣu

These hateful, cruel and inauspicious ones, the lowest of men, I cast again and again into the cycles of worldly existence, into demoniac wombs alone.

आसुरीं योनिमापन्ना मूढा जन्मनि जन्मनि ।
मामप्राप्यैव कौन्तेय ततो यान्त्यधमां गतिम्

āsurīṃ yonimāpannā mūḍhā janmani janmani |
māmaprāpyaiva kaunteya tato yāntyadhamāṃ gatim

Having entered demoniac wombs, deluded birth after birth, never reaching Me, O Kaunteya, they then sink to a state lower still.

एतैर्विमुक्तः कौन्तेय तमोद्वारैस्त्रिभिर्नरः ।
आचरत्यात्मनः श्रेयस्ततो याति परां गतिम्

etairvimuktaḥ kaunteya tamodvāraistribhirnaraḥ |
ācaratyātmanaḥ śreyastato yāti parāṃ gatim

A person freed from these three gates of darkness, O Kaunteya, does what is good for the self, and so reaches the highest goal.

यः शास्त्रविधिमुत्सृज्य वर्तते कामकारतः ।
न स सिद्धिमवाप्नोति न सुखं न परां गतिम्

yaḥ śāstravidhimutsṛjya vartate kāmakārataḥ |
na sa siddhimavāpnoti na sukhaṃ na parāṃ gatim

One who casts aside the injunctions of the Shastra and acts on the impulse of desire attains neither perfection nor happiness nor the highest goal.
