एतां दृष्टिमवष्टभ्य नष्टात्मानोऽल्पबुद्धयः । प्रभवन्त्युग्रकर्माणः क्षयाय जगतोऽहिताः ॥ ९ ॥
etāṁ dṛiṣhṭim avaṣhṭabhya naṣhṭātmāno ’lpa-buddhayaḥ prabhavanty ugra-karmāṇaḥ kṣhayāya jagato ’hitāḥ
Translation
Holding this view, these lost souls of small understanding and cruel deeds rise up as enemies of the world, for its destruction.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
इस दृष्टि को पकड़कर, जिनका स्वभाव नष्ट हो चुका है और जिनकी बुद्धि मंद है, ऐसे क्रूर कर्म करने वाले लोग संसार के शत्रु बनकर उसके विनाश के लिए उत्पन्न होते हैं।
Commentary
Belief shapes action. A view of the world with no meaning beyond pleasure produces ugra-karmanah, people of cruel deeds, who harm the world. Nashtatmanah, "lost souls," is compassionate as well as critical: such people have lost touch with their own true nature.
