प्रवृत्तिं च निवृत्तिं च जना न विदुरासुराः | न शौचं नापि चाचारो न सत्यं तेषु विद्यते
pravṛttiṃ ca nivṛttiṃ ca janā na vidurāsurāḥ . na śaucaṃ nāpi cācāro na satyaṃ teṣu vidyate
阿修羅之人不明白何為當行，何為不當行；他們既無清淨，亦無善行，更無真實。
Neither do the demoniacal persons under-stand what is to be done and what is not to be done; nor does purity, or even good conduct or truthfulness exist in them.
阿修羅之人不明白行為與不行為（正確的止息）的本質。對他們而言，身體之外有一個真我，無所作為（無為），僅僅觀看「古納」（Gunas）的戲劇，是不可理解的。他們不考慮他人的利益，為身體或感官享樂而工作。他們貪婪、自私且殘酷。因此，他們既無善行亦無良好行為。他們不真實、不公正且不純淨。他們不知道應該做什麼行為才能達到生命目標或人類存在的終點，也不知道應該避免什麼行為才能避開邪惡。那些具備惡魔般特質的人沉溺於無明的泥沼中。他們完全不知道什麼是規定行為，什麼是禁止行為。他們對清淨或潔淨一無所知。他們的行為是彎曲的。他們既不知道正確的「傾向」（Pravritti）也不知道正確的「止息」（Nivritti）。他們對美德或惡行，或對經典的規定或禁令一無所知。他們從不說愛語，他們是偽君子和說謊者。
The demoniacal do not understand the nature of action and inaction (right abstinence). The idea of a Self apart from the body? doing nothing (actionless) but imply watching the play of the Gunas is something incomprehensible to them. They have no consideration for the interest of others. They work for the sake of their bodies or sensual enjoyment. They are greedy? selfish and cruel. Therefore? they have neither good conduct nor good behaviour. They are untruthful? unjust and impure. They do not know what actions they should do in order to attain the goal of life or end of human existence? nor from what actions they should refrain to ward off,evil.Those who are endowed with demoniacal alities are sunk in the mire of ignorance. They are totally ignorant of what is prescribed or what is prohibited action. They have not the least idea of what purity or cleanliness is. Their actions are crooked. They know neither right Pravritti nor right Nivritti. They have no idea of virtue or vice or of scriptural injunctions or prohibitions. They will never speak loving words. They are hypocrites and liars.
