„In dieser Welt gibt es zwei Arten von Geschöpfen: die göttlichen und die dämonischen. Die göttliche (Natur) wurde ausführlich beschrieben. Höre nun von Mir über die dämonische, o Partha.“
In this world there are are two (kinds of) creation of beings: the divine and the demoniacal. The divine has been spoken of elaborately. Hear about the demoniacal from Me, O son of Prtha.
Krishna erklärt, dass es im Universum grundsätzlich zwei Kategorien von Wesen gibt, die sich durch ihre angeborene Natur unterscheiden. Nachdem die göttlichen Eigenschaften ausführlich dargelegt wurden, kündigt er nun die detaillierte Beschreibung der dämonischen Natur an, um Arjuna ein vollständiges Verständnis zu vermitteln.
The two divisions of created beings? the one divine and the other satanic? carry on their respective activities in accordance with their natural tendencies or traits.In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad also you will find Verily there are two classes of the Creators creatures -- gods and demons (I.3.1).Bhutasargau Creations of beings? types or classes of creatues. Creation here means what is created. The men who are created with the two kinds of nature? the divine and the demonical? are here mentioned as the two creations. Every man in this world comes under the one or the other of the two creations? the divine and the demoniacal.Lord Krishna says to Arjuna? I will now describe to thee the characteristics of those men who are endowed with the devilish alities. If you have an understanding of the demoniacal alities? you will avoid them. The demoniacal nature is described in detail to the very end of this discourse.There is some reference in chapter IX? verses 9? 11 and 12? to the demoniacal nature but as the description is incomplete it is completed in this discourse.The divine nature has been declared in detail by the blessed Lord in the previous chapters -- the state of a Sthitaprajna in chapter II? the state of a Bhagavata in chapter XII and the state of a Trigunatita in chapter XIV and in the first three verses of this discourse.
