अनेकचित्तविभ्रान्ता मोहजालसमावृताः । प्रसक्ताः कामभोगेषु पतन्ति नरकेऽशुचौ॥६-३८-१६॥
With minds scattered in many directions, enveloped in a net of delusion, and attached to the enjoyment of desires, they fall into an impure state of suffering.

Self-conceited, rigid, and intoxicated by wealth and honor, they perform sacrifices in name alone—driven by ostentation and not in accordance with the prescribed rite.

अहंकारं बलं दर्पं कामं क्रोधं च संश्रिताः । मामात्मपरदेहेषु प्रद्विषन्तोऽभ्यसूयकाः॥६-३८-१८॥
Taking refuge in egoism, force, arrogance, desire, and anger, they become hostile and resentful toward Me as the indwelling Self present in their own bodies and in the bodies of others.

Those hostile, cruel, and ethically degraded persons—inauspicious in conduct—I continually consign, within the cycle of transmigration, to demonic modes of birth.
