Giving themselves over to immeasurable cares ending only with death, regarding gratification of lust as their highest aim, and feeling sure that that is all.

Beset by countless anxieties that end only with death, taking the enjoyment of desires as the highest aim, they are convinced that this is all there is.

Such people are weighed down by countless anxieties that last until death. They treat the enjoyment of desires as the highest goal and are sure that nothing more exists. The verse points to a paradox: a life devoted to pleasure is filled not with joy but with worry. Because they believe that this world is all there is, every loss feels final and every gain must be guarded. Krishna lets Arjuna see the restlessness that lies under a life of mere enjoyment.
