在此世間,眾生有兩種性情:神聖與阿修羅。神聖的已詳盡宣說。普利塔之子啊,請聽我說阿修羅的性情。
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.
兩種被創造的眾生,一種是神聖的,另一種是撒旦的,它們根據各自的自然傾向或特徵進行活動。在《廣林奧義書》(Brihadaranyaka Upanishad)中,你也會發現:「確實,創造者有兩類生物——天神和惡魔」(I.3.1)。「 眾生類型 」(Bhutasargau)指眾生的創造,生物的類型或種類。此處的創造是指被創造之物。那些被創造出兩種性情——神聖和惡魔——的人,在此被提及為兩種創造。世間的每個人都屬於這兩種創造之一,即神聖或惡魔。主克里希那對阿周那說:「我現在將向你描述那些具備惡魔般特質的人的特徵。如果你了解惡魔般的特質,你就會避免它們。」惡魔般的性情將在本章的結尾處詳細描述。在第九章的第9、11和12節中,對惡魔般的性情有所提及,但由於描述不完整,故在本章中予以補充。神聖稟性已由世尊在之前的章節中詳細闡述——第二章中的「住慧者」(Sthitaprajna)狀態,第十二章中的「薄伽梵」(Bhagavata)狀態,第十四章中的「超越三德者」(Trigunatita)狀態,以及本章的前三節。
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.
