Vertaling

Entering into demoniacal wombs and deluded, birth after birth, not attaining Me, they thus fall, O Arjuna, into a condition still lower than that.

Uitleg

The decline continues. Entering demonic births life after life, such people never reach Krishna and sink even lower. The verse stresses how habits harden across lifetimes, each birth reinforcing the tendencies of the last. Yet the phrase never reaching me implies that reaching him was possible, and the following verses immediately show the way out. The picture is a warning, not a closed door, offered to make the cost of the demonic path clear.
