काममाश्रित्य दुष्पूरं दम्भमानमदान्विताः । मोहाद्गृहीत्वासद्ग्राहान्प्रवर्तन्तेऽशुचिव्रताः ॥ १० ॥
kāmam āśhritya duṣhpūraṁ dambha-māna-madānvitāḥ mohād gṛihītvāsad-grāhān pravartante ’śhuchi-vratāḥ
Translation
Clinging to insatiable desire, full of hypocrisy, pride and arrogance, holding false ideas out of delusion, they act with impure resolves.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
कभी न भरने वाली कामनाओं का आश्रय लेकर, दंभ, मान और मद से युक्त होकर, मोहवश गलत धारणाओं को पकड़कर, वे अपवित्र संकल्पों के साथ कर्म करते हैं।
Commentary
Dushpuram, "impossible to fill," describes desire exactly: it grows with what it is fed. The verse shows a chain in which unlimited desire, a false self-image and wrong ideas combine into action driven by impure motives (ashuchi-vrata).
