Translations
Holding this view, these ruined souls of small intellect and fierce deeds come forth as enemies of the world, intent on its destruction.
Thinking thus, these degraded souls, these enemies of mankind—whose intelligence is negligible and whose deeds are monstrous—come into the world only to destroy.
Holding onto this view, those of depraved character, poor intellect, and given to fearful and harmful actions, wax strong and bring ruin to the world.
उपर्युक्त (नास्तिक) दृष्टिका आश्रय लेनेवाले जो मनुष्य अपने नित्य स्वरूपको नहीं मानते, जिनकी बुद्धि तुच्छ है, जो उग्रकर्मा और संसारके शत्रु हैं, उन मनुष्योंकी सामर्थ्यका उपयोग जगत्का नाश करनेके लिये ही होता है।Commentary
