Chapter 16 • Verse 4
दम्भो दर्पोऽभिमानश्च क्रोधः पारुष्यमेव च। अज्ञानं चाभिजातस्य पार्थ संपदमासुरीम्॥
dambho darpo 'bhimānaśh cha krodhaḥ pāruṣhyam eva cha ajñānaṁ chābhijātasya pārtha sampadam āsurīm
Meaning
Hypocrisy, arrogance, self-conceit, anger, harshness, and ignorance — these belong to one born with demoniac qualities, O Partha.
Now the demoniac qualities: pretense, pride, vanity, anger, cruelty, and ignorance. These six constitute the demoniac nature (asuri sampat). One born with these qualities is heading toward bondage.
Strength Reflection
"I recognize and remove hypocrisy, pride, anger, cruelty, and ignorance from myself."
Devotional Surrender
O Lord, remove from me all traces of demoniac nature.
